• "I recommend this course.  I really learned a lot about different ways I can help my daycare kids along with possibly giving me hope with my own children. I always enjoy your classes but I felt like this one really hit home for me.  I appreciated there was a lot of good points and suggestions for many things I really need to work on doing. I enjoyed that this was self-paced, the questions were spaced out, and it restarted where I left off." - Lori K., Childcare Provider
