I highly recommend the Daycare Director course. It is a very detailed program, and I learned a lot. My knowledge has been enhanced through this course. I was happy that it met my schedule, and technical support was always available to me. The study guides provided were very helpful. The course was perfectly aligned with childcare licensing requirements and how they apply to the direct childcare. The part of the course most interesting to me was the small business management side, and that component was very detailed to cover all of the operational sides of the childcare business. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable. Also, being a part of the virtual meetings as well as the Canvas online platform was extremely beneficial as well as user friendly which made it easy to navigate the course.

I really had a good experience while attending a CPR & First Aid class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided multiple opportunities for learning. Many instructional modalities included visual aids, audio, video as well as several life-like manikins for demonstration. The instructors were professional and prepared me very well to save a life in the event of an emergency. When it is time for me to renew my certification, I will definitely enroll in classes with this school again.

I am a healthcare professional and would like to share my experience. Being a Registered Nurse I have taken CPR and First Aid many times over the last 20 years, and I must say this has been the best educational experience I have had in a very long time. Their training is on point and will keep you engaged. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this training center for your training needs.
