I would like to express my appreciation to the Childcare Education Institute (CCEI) for all that you do to help Child Care Professionals. The training courses, such as the Director’s Certificate and the Child Development Associate Programs are only a few that are offered that we have used. Because the courses are online and self paced, it has been convenient in assisting our training department with helping staff achieve their Early Childhood credentials. I have been impressed by the way the Childcare Education Institute staff goes above and beyond to make sure that our Early Childhood Education Professionals are taken care of and have reached their goals. I highly recommend Childcare Education Institute to any individual or organization interested in expanding their educational training needs.

Fran Jones, Staff Development Specialist Rural Family Development Virginia Migrant Head Start

This program has awesome information and resources. I am thankful to God for allowing me to find this program.

The Self Study CDA process through CCEI was perfect. Having an education coach available to answer questions was really helpful! Thank you!

Hillary Gressman, Jacksonville, FL

This program helped me achieve my goals to obtain my CDA while running a 24/7 home child care. It is convenient and whenever I had a question, it was answered immediately. My education coach was so supportive, encouraging, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to obtain their CDA.

Mary Bates, Pinellas Park, FL

CCEI’s program was fast, affordable and flexible with my tough schedule!

In my experience with CCEI, everyone was helpful, courteous and more than willing to help in any way possible.

Michele Profeta, Sullivan County Head Start, Liberty, NY

I really enjoyed my experience with CCEI. I am able to bring more knowledge into the child care field. I feel better prepared to handle conflicts with peers and parents. I definitely enjoyed taking advantage of the Maryland Credential Program and I will be referring my friends to CCEI.

Tenika Christian, Aiming for the Stars, Baltimore, MD

My experience with CCEI was wonderful! My instructor was phenomenal, always available, and extremely supportive. The compliance department was always there to let my director know of any documentation that was needed. I was very happy with my coursework and I would recommend this institution to all my friends in the field. Thank you!

Lisa Davoli, Boca Raton Jewish Learning Center, Boca Raton, FL

The program, by far, is the best I have used. The Student Services department is a wonderful asset to the company. They kept me going and never once turned their back on me. I love CCEI.

Excellent coursework! CCEI has great programs that have
a lot of beneficial learning educators will use in their child care
centers.

Vicki Falco, Longwood, FL

CCEI is the best on line training program I have
experienced.

Alistan Buchanan, Frederick Douglas Head Start, New York, AL

I have worked in the early childhood education field for over 15 years and am currently a center director. CCEI is by far the best option for me and my staff for meeting our state required training needs. The flexibility to be able to take courses any time is invaluable to me. My staff can take courses at school or at home 24/7. The cost is by far the most reasonable around. The personal service is incredible from the first sales contact to technical support to personal education coaches. We have had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend the CCEI program to any center director looking to provide the highest quality training options for their staff at the best price.

Shoshannah Jonathan, Primrose School, Sugar Hill, GA

The technical department was very patient and courteous and so was my education coach. My computer skills were limited and I received excellent service to accomplish my goal. I thank everyone involved. I am very appreciative!

Maria Villarreal, Brownsville, TX

I highly recommend this CDA course because it is extremely informative and has the most current information on early childhood education.

Karen Haimovitz, Kiddie Academy, Sellersville, PA

I am so thankful that I was able to enroll and complete my CDA renewal online with your institute. I found the program to be easy to use and well informative. My coach was great in making sure I knew how well I was doing and that they noticed my progress. I also appreciated the quick responses to my emails regarding my questions or concerns. I felt that the courses were well organized and had great assessment questions and handouts. I also like being able to print out certificate of completion. I had a sense of pride that I sat down, read, answered questions and got a paper saying 'YOU DID IT!' I also liked that it told my how many days I had left to work on courses and how many I completed each day. I had a great experience.

Eleanor Alusik, Children's Corner, Three Bridges, NJ

I am very happy with my experience with CCEI. I have referred others to the program and look forward to going on to more courses with CCEI.

Samantha Robbins, Webster, MA

I had an excellent experience. I learned a lot of new and interesting things about childcare that I did not know before. I have shared a lot of it with my parents in my classroom and they were thankful to know these things. I would definitely recommend this course to someone who wanted to work with children.

Rachel Reed, PREP Day Care, Derby, NY

This program has allowed me the opportunity of a lifetime. Each course was in depth and I actually looked forward to working on it every night after my job as a Pre-K teacher, from 6:30 am to 3:00pm and always staying later to prep/plan/help out. To be able to apply what I learned was an empowering feeling for me. Working as a substitute in all grades for fifteen years, I was just waiting for an opportunity to go back to an "early childhood" Pre-K classroom, which was exciting for me, but all the experience no longer meant anything. Certifications are a must. This was my beginning on making that happen. Through my February layoff as a lead teacher and not thinking I could finish this program out, I am very happy I was able to hang in there. And I look forward to taking more courses and finishing my portfolio.

Zulema DeGregory, Hobart Day Care Center, Stamford, NY

I learned a lot of information on early childhood education.

Eugenia Charley, Ramah Navajo Head Start, Pine Hill, NM

I was very impressed with the courses that I took through CCEI. Anyone that I had to speak with was always friendly and I was able to obtain new knowledge about Early Childhood Development.

Nichole Greenleaf, Mineral Wells, TX

I am an Assistant Director and a full time mom and girl scout leader. Being able to continue my education and strive towards my goal of becoming a director has made me so happy. I owe it all to the fact that CCEI offered distance learning for my program of study at a fair price and an easy pace. THANK YOU.

Heather Taylor, Destin, FL

CCEI opened up my eyes to a lot of new opportunities on how to work with young children and make my classroom a fun and safe learning environment. The courses were organized and the staff was very helpful and quick to answer any of my questions. Overall, the experience was a rewarding one.

Meghann Budnick, Dolphin Days, Colchester, CT

CCEI has made a huge difference for me and allowed me the opportunity to obtain a credential that I had wanted for many years. The courses were always too far away and required me to travel. CCEI's online program allowed me to study at my own pace from the convenience of my own home...Thank you!!

Lisa Fernley, Budd Lake, NJ

Excerpt from a letter to our staff:

Thank you so very much for all of your help and support during the past year. Your guidance in steering me in the right direction on so many occasions, with regards to my online class, was a tremendous help. If I need to take additional child care related classes in the future, I will certainly be contacting CCEI. Thanks once again.

Elsie Daniel, West Hartford, Connecticut

I enjoyed the program, because it was easy to follow online. The coursework was easy to understand. I received a lot of support and encouragement from my educational coach. The staff helped me with registration and enrollment quickly and with care. They also gave me the information needed to receive the T.E.A.C.H scholarship to finance the CDA courses. I am so grateful for the opportunity and support in completing my CDA courses.

Kiristian Carhee, Pembroke Lakes Academy, Davie, FL

This program was awesome! Easy to use and navigate. I was done in four months when, in a community college, it would have taken a year or two. I look forward to signing up for my Director’s Credentials next session. I could not have been more pleased with my results. This program was easy to follow, gave me plenty of information and resources, and always had a coach ready to answer questions. I have two children and work full-time. I did one section a day and am amazed at how short the time was.

Elicia Watson, A Gold Star Academy Inc., Titusville, FL

CCEI was helpful from my first inquires to completion. The few times that I had questions about the program, they responded and if they didn't know the answer, got back to me quickly with the answer.

I'm telling anyone who is willing to listen, that I am so pleased with the broadening of my education and new horizons that this program has enriched me with. I feel so blessed! When I can say, "Hey, I get it. I have more understanding and insight into how I can do that better for my children, their families and my community," you can't ask for anything better. Thank you CCEI, what a great awakening experience this has been and a special thanks to my on-line coach.

I had an excellent experience with CCEI and I will definitely return soon for professional development.

Christine Norton, Kissimmee, FL

I have worked in the Early Childhood field for several years now, and I must say, CCEI was still able to "teach an old dog new tricks." Taking this course convinced me to finish my college degree.

Cher Curd, Crème de la Crème, Atlanta, GA

I was pleased with the ease of use. The coursework has prepared me for my CDA Assessment. I was able to use much of the information in my current position as an Early Childhood Educator. Thank you!!!

This was the toughest year of my life. I am a mom of two young children, work full time, and went through a very trying year. There were so many times that I thought, ‘There is no way I can do this. There is no way I can finish this,’ but with support of family friends, and CCEI employees, I was able to!

Kelsey Phillips, Cumming, GA

I would like to say that I have learned so much new material and great ideas that I am looking forward to using in my classroom. I LOVE my teacher and would recommend her to anyone.

The CCEI CDA program was easy to enroll, begin and complete. I was able to complete the courses on my time, which was a major influence in my decision to do the online courses through CCEI. With the recent Bright from the Start rule of all caregivers needing a CDA, I have encourage all my fellow co-workers to use the CCEI CDA program!

I must say that you have very a outstanding education coach on staff and I could not have asked for a better person.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

Claudia Salazar, Texas Migrant Council, Plainview, Texas

This was my first time taking an online course. I said 'I would never take online'. However, I wanted to take this class even though I am in the Army and was sent to Iraq. Being able to complete my courses online was great! I will look into other CCEI courses!
