Connecticut & Lillio Academy
Can I use Lillio Academy for PD hours in Connecticut?
Yes! Lillio Academy can be used toward professional development in Connecticut since the state approves all PD to count toward hours and does not approve individual organizations. We are currently inquiring about CTAEYC and the OEC Registry.
Please Note: All Webinars and Lillio Basic Courses must NOT be submitted to your registry. They do not meet specific learning requirements for the state and will not be accepted if submitted
Sign up for Lillio Academy to complete your professional development hours at your convenience! You can work at your own pace from wherever you want. Once you complete a course, you can download your certificate!

Though Lillio attempts to maintain accurate and up-to-date information, educators are individually responsible for understanding the submission and approval process of all professional development and licensing work in their state.
