Hello Providers! We are offering live PASS Provider Training sessions to help you prepare for the December 1st launch of the Child Care Program Attendance and Schedule System (PASS). Use the links in the table below to register for the session that fits your schedule. Each link will take you directly to the Zoom registration page.
Weekly virtual Open Q&A Sessions are open to everyone to give you a chance to ask any questions or get additional assistance. Register to attend Open Q&A Sessions the same way you do other training sessions.
Please carefully review the session information below to determine which training to register for and what is required to complete your training fully.
Choose the Right PASS Training Session for You
Training Option 1: For Providers Who Are Fully Transitioning to KinderSystems and are Not Using a Third-Party Child Care Management System (CCMS). Please attend the KinderConnect training.
- Who: Providers who use Child Care PASS as their primary system to record attendance for children in the Child Care Subsidy Program (CCSP). These providers fully utilize the KinderSystems suite of products and do not use an approved third-party child care management system, such as Procare or Brightwheel, to track attendance.
- What: Training is two parts:
- Part 1: A 1-hour video training followed by one and a half hours of live guided practice and Q&A. (Note: When you open the registration link, it may say “Provider Full Training.” This is normal, please go ahead and register).
- Part 2: A recorded 1-hour webinar covering additional content.
- To be fully trained, please complete both parts. Click HERE to review the agenda for the two sessions.
- To watch the trainings on your time, visit the KinderSign/KinderSmart Getting Started page HERE.
Training Option 2: For Providers Continuing to Use Their Own Third-Party Child Care Management System (CCMS).
If you will continue using your current CCMS (e.g., Brightwheel, Procare, etc.) to track attendance and connect it via KinderBridge, please attend the KinderBridge/API training. Click HERE to see the list of child care management systems that KinderBridge interfaces with.
- Who: Providers linking their existing CCMS to PASS through KinderBridge. This training is not for providers receiving a state-issued tablet.
- What: A 30-minute video followed by two hours of live guided practice and Q&A.
