Comments on Day by Day with Toddlers: Curriculum Planning for Ages 12-24 Months:
I’ve learned so much and I’ve applied everything I’ve learned to my program. The advice and techniques are so simple, yet so effective. I’ve shared what I’ve learned with my parents and they have been so grateful for the help. My day is filled with incidental learning, open ended questions and unending smiles and hugs. I loved this course and I would highly recommend it to others. Thank you. - Sterling, Massachusetts
I'm thrilled with the courses. I've been a provider for 35 years and everything I read is right on to what I've done all these years. I also love all the new ideas I'm getting as well. Thank you for this wonderful program. - Holliston, Massachusetts
Thank you so much! The download was effortless. I thought the material presented was excellent; essential information and perspectives for anyone caring for toddlers. This is the second course I have taken with Care Courses. I appreciate that the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, which licenses our child care programs, accepts your credentials. I couldn't be more pleased with your programs! They are so helpful, and especially for us busy teachers who find it increasingly difficult to get to other types of training opportunities. Oh - and thank you SO much for the personable service and speedy turnaround of the documentations! – Forest Park, Illinois
