Vermont prioritizes developmental understanding and inclusion, requiring educators to pursue credentials within the Northern Lights Career Development Center framework. Licensed child care providers must complete at least 6–12 annual hours, depending on their role, and demonstrate progress along Vermont’s Early Childhood Professional Development System, including STARS-rated program alignment and optional peer coaching.
