course on child development than Understanding Children. If

taking Understanding Children first. This course covers
current information available on excellent care giving, including meeting
children’s needs, helping children learn problem solving, and
facilitating their social, emotional, and intellectual growth.

Comments on The Art of Child Care:
"This was just excellent material. At 65 with
17 years of teaching it provided new insights and valuable information.
I needed it!" -Minneapolis, Minnesota
"This is by far the best course I have taken
in my field. I have been in child development since 1987 when I was a
student at Penn State. As a junior I developed a love of child
development. I actually graduated in anthropology but went into the
childcare field. This course is cutting-edge. It is truly
the art of child care. It encompasses my firm beliefs in
how children should be interacted with. I applaud you for this
wonderful study!" - Houston, Texas
"I am so happy with these courses. They
are very informative. I have been a licensed daycare provider for five
years. I am currently going to my local college for my associates in
early childhood development. The course I have taken from you are Child
Care Administration and the Art of Child Care.
They have a lot of information in them. I will soon open my own center
and be the Director. Your courses are wonderful. Thank you."
- Johnston, Rhode Island
