What is the benefit of being regularly certified versus provisionally certified for child care in Wisconsin?
My wife is going to get certified for child care in wisconsin. She is considering taking the additional training for regular certification versus only the provisional certification. It looks like she would be allowed to watch up to 3 kids either way? So is there a reason she should get regular certified? Does it allow her to do more or something? She plans on watching kids from our home.
