What students say about 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 have nothing but praise for Care Courses. When I called to inquire about taking some on line courses to satisfy my Child Care license renewal requirement, I had no idea that I was actually going to be treated like a human being. I was pleasantly surprised. I was treated with respect and courtesy by the Care Courses Rep. To add to my happiness, he was extremely knowledgeable and patient, he helped me choose the correct courses [Caring for Children in Your Home] according to the required number of hours and subjects I needed to take for my Child Care license renewal.I am for ever grateful to Care Courses for being such caring professionals.- Spring Valley, New York

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, Virginia
