Our Child Care Director Training program has opened a pathway to becoming a child care director. It provides a resource for those who would like to start a most needed career but are hesitant about where to begin. Families in communities all over the nation are struggling to find childcare and this course provides a foundation in which to help community members come together to fill this need.
