Filled with practical advice, we offer 120+ CEU eligible courses powered by ChildCare Education Institute that cover all disciplines of child development and center operations — from orientation courses for new teachers to more advanced subjects for experienced child care staff and directors. All courses are available in English and Spanish. Courses are "competency-based" to ensure retention and success. Students must show an understanding of the content in order to advance to new courses.
All you need to get started is computer access to the Internet and a valid email address. All coursework, transcripts and completion certificates are accessible online anytime to accommodate your busy schedule. No additional software or books are required for professional development courses and you work at your own pace. You do not have to complete an entire course at one time. Any work you complete will be saved and you can begin working where you left off the next time you login.
Once you've completed a course, you can print out a signed Certificate of Completion. The certificate will show that you completed 1 clock hour of professional development.
With Administrator access, you can manage and monitor staff professional development in one convenient location. Help your staff achieve their professional goals and lower professional development costs while providing a broad range of CEU-eligible courses. In addition to reducing the need for in-service days, special training facilities and substitute teachers, you can simplify tracking and ensure consistency.
