"Hi, yes the material [Observing, Recording, and Assessing Children's Development

learning
fun, and real! Thanks again."

"I am so impressed and relieved that there is this service. I found the courses I needed and even added one just because it looked interesting and I felt I needed a refresher course in that
area."

"A HUGE THANK YOU. The course [
Creating Schedules and Routines
] we used was great. After you have taken years of courses it tends to become boring. This course has many
new
-
fresh - ideas for scheduling and planning your time with the children. But not only was the course
interesting,
the STAFF was so helpful... I am far from computer literate. Ben walked me through the registration
process
and
got me all the way to the start of the course. AND, he never lost patience with me - very kind and
thoughtful.
Also the ladies who helped me be certain the coursework answers were received did a great job... INCREDIBLE.... Thank you so much everyone for helping me fill in
the
last
piece needed to complete my license renewal. The next two years will include more courses on line thru
Care
Courses. It actually can save money as I don't need to hire a substitute while I leave to go to classes.
Keep
doing what you are doing - it works..."

and product."
