Oregon Registry Infant Toddler Credential

The three credentials include:

• Oregon Registry Infant Toddler Professional Credential
• Oregon Registry Director Credential
• Oregon Registry School Age Credential

The purpose of the state-approved Oregon Registry Credentials is to recognize a professional’s knowledge, skills and achievements in order to improve the quality of services and thereby increase positive outcomes for children and families.

The Infant Toddler Professional Credential meets Oregon’s licensing requirements for head teachers in an infant toddler classroom in a Certified Child Care Center. It also meets licensing qualification requirements for Certified Family Child Care providers caring for more than two children under the age of 2.

The Infant Toddler Professional Credential is valid for five years from the date of award of the initial credential. Participants will be notified by mail prior to the expiration of their Credential. At that point, Credential recipients may renew the credential by completing additional training and experience.

Through the Oregon Scholarship Program, scholarships are available for professional training and education leading to credentialing, as well as Oregon Registry credential application fees and fees associated with the observation required for the credential.

The Registry also provides supportive and refresher training services to trainers of the First Connections/Infant and Toddler curriculum.
