Comments on Caring for Children in Your Home:

"This course Caring for Children in Your Home should be required for all new caregivers to complete requirements for first year clock hours. This course tells what care giving is all about. It addresses so many aspects of child care and also maintaining complete business records. I always learn something valuable with each course I take! Thanks!" – Midland, Texas

"This is my second year in the child care business, and this course was just what I needed to evaluate the quality of my program. I learned some very important things about child care that I knew about, but not in the way it was presented to me in this course.  Plus, I got to stay in m own house, at my own kitchen table to take the course. What a blessing! So, I thank all of you for this beautiful way for child care providers to update their job skills and receive credit for them." -- Providence, Rhode Island

"I loved this class and learned so much. It was so thorough and well planned.  thanks for a quality program...looking forward to taking another. PS I am a home-schooling mom too...it was fun for my daughter to see me studying at home.  She said she wished she could get her work finished a quickly as me!" - Watonga, Oklahoma

"Everything went great with ordering and receiving my Care e-course. I love your courses and plan on taking several of them as I am working on my CDA. Thanks for making that goal much more "do-able" with the CDA courses available. With a child care provider's schedule, your courses are a dream!! Most of them are done in my PJ's! (Too much info? :-) ) Anyway, I am very happy with Care Courses....thanks! -- Warrenton, VA
