What our Indiana students say

"I received the book [Toddlers in Child Care] and am in the early stages of the course. It looks like it will be interesting and informative. Thank you."

– St. John, Indiana
"I love to renew my CDA through Care Courses! It's easy to do and I can do it on my own time when it is convenient for me. The best part is that after almost 30 years of working with young children I still find the books informative!"
