Our Commitment to Quality

We strive for quality and consistency in everything we do, but don't just take our word for it!  We've taken very laborious steps to earn independent verification of our program so you can be assured our quality meets and exceeds your expectations...all the time, every time.

Quality Matters to You and to Us

Our child care training classes are all written by subject-matter experts, most of whom have direct experience working with children.  The content is intended to provide child care professionals with both theoretical and practical information about child growth and development to allow you to most effectively support the children in your care. Our curriculum also includes courses directly applicable to adult professional development as well, such as Program Management, Professionalism, Budgeting, etc. 

Our classes are all web-based with easy access on any device and incorporate elements to accommodate multiple learning styles. Additionally, all our courses contain a “Continued Learning” section at the end that provides additional resources for you to explore and learn more about a particular topic.  You can also use our free community forum to participate in discussions with your peers about content from the class or general topics related to child care.
