EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Department of Children and Families (DCF) mandates competency testing for child care staff working in public/private child care facilities or home child care centers. DCF contracts for testing services in each of its regions; Hillsborough and Pasco Counties serve as a single region under DCF. Hillsborough County Public Schools is the designated testing provider for this region.
Students must meet a 70 percent competency level in the areas of Child Growth and Development; Child Abuse and Neglect; Health, Safety and Nutrition; Behavior Observation and Screening; Family Child Care Home Rules and Regulations; and Facility Rules and Regulations.
In order to effectively complete the required child care testing, permission is requested to add and/or delete test proctors as needed.
Approximately 12,500 exams will have been administered in this region by the end of the 2007/2008 school year.
