North Dakota Safe Sleep Training
The North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requires that everyone who cares for infants in a licensed child care setting must complete an annual training for safe sleep. Not all safe sleep trainings meet the HHS requirements. The HHS Early Childhood Division course, North Dakota Safe Sleep, is Registry approved and meets licensing requirements.
The Guidelines for Safe Sleep Approval describe what must be included in a safe sleep training to be accepted for licensing.
