"I love taking your courses [Toddlers in Child Care, Many Ways to Learn, and Day by Day with Toddlers]. I can read the text whenever I want and not have to go to trainings at the end of the day when I am exhausted. I signed up for a course and then decided that a another course would better fit the requirements I needed for clock hours. I'll go back to the first course when I am able. How convenient that it will be waiting for me!!! I Love Care Courses!" - Wilmington, Delaware |

"I thought the courses were great. There were many topics from which to choose. The material was very helpful. I am already using ideas in my classroom. I have been teaching preschool for over 20 years and I am always looking for new courses to help me keep my program current, interesting, age appropriate and fun! In a few weeks I plan to take a course on [Language Development in Infants] which will help me personally and professionally. I feel is is important not only to know where your children should be, but how skills developed and how they should continue to develop. This will be a great opportunity to see how language develops in children. Oh yes, and I have a new granddaughter so it will be helpful in guiding her language acquisition. Thanks for providing high quality courses at reasonable rates. I have a list of courses I am interest in for the future. Also, my certificate arrived in just a few days!" – Wilmington, Delaware |

"The courses [Abuse and Neglect, and First Steps in Child Care] are terrific and having access to these classes online is so helpful to working teachers. It is so much more convenient and comfortable being able to take classes from the comfort of my own home and at my pace. It is truly a valuable service. Thank you so much." – Hockessin, Delaware |
