Washington STARS

STARS Training Requirements

 

Basic STARS Training

The STARS 20-hour basic training requirement must be met within six months of being licensed or hired in a licensed child care program. Child care programs can choose to enforce further regulations according to program policy. For example, some centers may require that the 20 Hour Basic is complete prior to employment, or within 30 days. The 20 Hour Basic training does not expire. It is only necessary to complete the course one time. Each calendar year after initially completing the 20 Hour Basic, child care professionals are required to complete 10 hours of STARS continuing education.

A center director and program supervisor must have five of the ten hours in program management and administration for the first two years in their respective positions. Each additional year, three of the ten hours required must be in program management and administration.
