Care Courses is a distance learning school since 1986. It offers early childhood (ECE) training that has helped hundreds of early childhood professionals get their CDA (Child Development Associates Credential) or CCP (Certified Childcare Professional) as quickly and painlessly as possible, while at the same time helping them to better understand their children and business.
Most Care Courses come in both book (paper) format and electronic (emailed) format. What you learn, the cost and the clock hours are the same regardless of which format you choose; only the delivery method is different. Book courses are send by free standard shipping to your home or office address, usually arriving in 10 business days after payment. Book Courses are great because you can read them when and where you please, once finished starting a course library to refer to later.
