Learn MoreRegistration Deadlines are Changing!
To better accommodate our growing course offerings, KCCTO is updating our registration deadlines. Previously, registration for regular online courses was open until the Monday of the same week the course began—just 3 days before the start date. However, starting in October, registration will now close 10 days before the course starts, on the Monday of the week prior.
Please note that this 10-day deadline already applied to our book studies and other courses requiring materials to be mailed, so there’s no change for those.
Make sure to check the updated deadlines for each course on our website to stay on track. We’re committed to enhancing your learning experience!

KCCTO is excited to be part of developing the Kansas Early Childhood Career Pathway. The Pathway will offer a high-level roadmap to advancing roles or expertise within the profession tied to opportunities to earn increased compensation.
