B.E.S.T. (Basic Education for Safe Travel)

If you are a foster care or childcare licensed provider, B.E.S.T. is the class for you! This course is required by the State of Minnesota for any family licensed to care for children aged 8 years or younger. 

B.E.S.T. takes approximately 2 hours to complete. The first hour takes place online. You will receive access to a learning management system and be guided through an interactive Car Seat Basics presentation. You must complete this presentation prior to attending the second hour of training. After completing your online coursework, you will attend an in-person session with a certified car seat technician. Instruction will take place at YOUR vehicle. If you have a car seat(s), this may be used for instruction, otherwise, Children’s Home will provide seats for you to practice with.
