Training & Longevity Supplement Program

The Training & Longevity Supplement is an annual award and wage supplement available to individuals employed working with children ages birth through school age in licensed center and family child care programs who participate in the Career Ladder.  The purpose of this program is to improve the quality of care children receive by improving training and reducing turnover among their caregivers.

The Training & Longevity Supplement recognizes individual providers for their yearly achievements in two areas:
     1.  Level of Career Ladder certification
     2.  Years of continuous licensed experience in the same program, same location.
The higher your level of Career Ladder certification and years of continuous licensed experience in the same program, same location, the higher the wage supplement you can receive.

A change to the Training & Longevity Supplement processing occurred on February 1, 2006.  For current information, click here.
