"I studied my course non-stop this weekend, except for meals and church. As of this month I have been
doing day care for 17 years, and I thought I knew it all. Boy, was I surprised. Now when Monday comes I will know
how to
treat this one 4-year-old boy with a completely different understanding. I have learned so much from these
courses. Thanks again and again."
- Seward, Alaska
"I am very pleased with the courses I took. I must say that in my opinion, it is super convenient
because
right
now between work and my family I barely have time to 'comb my hair'... So it is the best way to learn
something
new, remember stuff I learned long time ago and complete the training hours that I am required to have.
Thank you
very much for having this wonderful program available for people that do not have time to attend classes
like me."
- Fairbanks, Alaska
"I love your courses! As a member of the early childhood education community, I have taught for 32 years.
It
is
refreshing to have new information readily available, to review basic information and have it all conveyed
in an
organized, interesting fashion.”
