Employee Training

Welcome to BBM! We’re excited to start the onboarding process with you so you can jump in the classroom and work with our kids! The State of Michigan requires several trainings when you first start working at a child care center. These are the MiRegistry (8 hours) and Orientation (2.5 hours). In addition, we will need you to complete First Aid and CPR (2 hours). Once those hours of training are done, the State requires everyone who works in a child care center to have 16 hours annually of training. The 12.5 hours (MiRegistry, Orientation, First Aid/CPR) will count for your first year of training.
