 New Maryland Child Care Credential application.

In Maryland, child care providers (both center and family) can take advantage of the MD Credential.  The Maryland Credential is a voluntary program in which providers go beyond their basic licensing requirements.  Providers in this program are recognized for their additional training and professional activities.  There are many incentives that go along with this program as well.  Please contact our office at 410-543-6650, e-mail Tonya Hurley at tlhurley@salisbury.edu or contact your local Office of Child Care  for more information on this program.
