What our Texas students say


"I would like to say thank you for making state hours so fun and interesting to learn. I went at my own pace. I didn't have anyone over me telling me to hurry up. I learned a lot in this book [Toddlers in Child Care] and this won't be the last time that you will hear from me."

– Texas City, Texas
"I devoured the information and feel so much more knowledgeable about the information...much of which was new to me. The car seat information was a huge thing for me. The records needed was pretty much what I already do. I was surprised to see no music in the vehicle because I would think that is a child's distraction, but I do understand where quiet can be a better option."

- Hondo, Texas
"Everything went well with the on-line course I ordered. I had no trouble activating or maneuvering through the course. The course itself was very thorough and informative. I appreciate the valuable service you offer."
