Once you have all of your professional development information added to your profile, it is time to connect your account to your center’s profile. This allows a center director to connect to their center and the staff that have also connected to the center. Please note, this is a required step for TRS providers.
Step 1: Login to TECPDS and select the tile “Connect to my Center or Organization” on your dashboard.
Step 2: A pop up screen will ask if you are trying to connect as a Director or Practitioner? Select Director.
Step 3: On the “Add a Center“, search for the center or facility that you administer. Select the center you want to connect too.
Step 4: The next step is to provide supporting documentation of your identity and authorization. This consists of the documentation that identifies you are a qualified administrator, such as a Child Care Regulation Director’s Certificate issued by the Texas Health and Human Services AND proof that you are the director of your center. This can be obtained by making a copy of the Child Care Regulation Operation Detail Report.
Step 5: Select the submit button and it will send TECPDS an email letting them know you have applied to be connected to the center. When TECPDS receives an email from the system showing a director has submitted these documents, we will review and if appropriate, approve you to connect to the center.
Step 6: Once connected, you will see a new set of tiles.
