Comments on Language Development in Infants:
I've always wished to tell you how much we appreciate all your courses. Our staff enjoys being able to do their training on the clock and during the children’s nap time. They also share the information with other staff members, but most importantly with our parents. This course is just as important for parents as it is for teachers. - Snellville, Georgia
I have only good words for the courses and the people behind the email link. I work a part time job after I close my daycare and this makes it nearly impossible to learn or to accumulate required credits. I have recommended Care Courses to many people including my clients that are special needs pre school teachers. Even when I had a problem and contacted you, you responded immediately and helped me resolve my issue. I'm doing another course [Language Development in Infants] now and will continue gaining knowledge and credits thru your courses. Thank you so much. - Framingham, Massachusetts
