ICES offers incentives to child care providers who actively participate in professional growth opportunities in the early care and educational field. There are two avenues for earning: Quality Counts & ICES Bucks.
Provider Resources
Earn While You Learn
ICES Bucks
If you attend workshops or other professional growth opportunities, but don’t participate in Quality Counts, you can still earn ICES Bucks! They can be used toward purchasing materials for your child care setting.
If you are not sure which role suits you contact Shana in our Mariposa Office at 209-966-4474 to learn more.
