Comments on Stress and Day Care:
Dear Care Courses Family, I just wanted to let you know how great it was to be able to do this course at my own pace. I really enjoyed it. Day Care has such long hours, even after the day is over, there is always things to do to get ready for the next day, that it was nice to be able to ready this book in my own time. The course was very interesting and helpful. Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful, stress free way to get my credit hours. - Orrington, Maine
This course was absolutely wonderful. Once I started I could not put it down! - Cuero, Texas
