The Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services has set minimum requirements. In some instances, the above-listed Moraine Park courses exceed the minimum requirements.

All courses offered for credit are transferable into the Child Care Services program, the Infant and Child Specialist program or the 10 Child Care certificates. Some of these courses are also offered at the associate degree level and are transferable into the Child Care and Development program. See individual program brochures for additional courses available in each program.
