The difference in reimbursement rates between normal rates and the higher rate is state wide. The licensing fees are set by the county.

The training requirements are also the same state wide. I have ALOT more than required due to being in college but I always thought it was 6 hours per year but it could be 8. Definitely not sure on the number but it is the same for the whole state.
JEALOUS!!! I am in MN and we pay 150 every two years. They used to charge 75 every year but changed it to 150 every two "to save county money".

And yes here if you have a 4 yr in early childhood or CDA or meet some other educational requirements you can get paid 15% more but only if you also charge your non state pay families that same rate. I did it for a while and it was nice to get paid more based on my education.
