• Child Care Lounge self-paced courses that can be tied to the WV Core Knowledge and Competencies can be submitted for Non-STARS hours and recorded on the user’s transcript even though classes are not currently approved by The West Virginia State Training and Registry System, as WV STARS does not approve out-of-state trainers. 

• If you are a provider interested in starting an in-home child care program or looking to get started working in the child care field, please contact the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, Division of Early Care and Education for the specific child care licensing requirements, rules and regulations of your state.
