Infant Toddler Credential
What Is the Maine Infant Toddler Credential?
Maine Roads to Quality Professional Development Network, in partnership with the Maine Department of Health and Human Services Office of Child and Family Services, has developed the Maine Infant Toddler Credential in response to the nationwide movement to recognize and support the professional development needs of infant and toddler caregivers.
* Please note: These credential packets contain some outdated information, as they are currently under revision. We will have new Credential Packets available for our next round of Credential Cohorts starting in October 2025. If you have questions, please reach out to your credential lead.
