Description of Training Session: 
A child’s play is more than just carefree time. Through play, children learn and incorporate newfound skills in their lives. It is important that play centers encourage and motivate children to learn. Therefore, child care providers should design play centers with emphasis on specific areas of interest, such as home living, science and math, art and music. This course familiarizes students with the components and purpose of special interest centers in a child care facility; specifically home living, science and math, art, and music centers.

This is a self-paced course that and can be saved and resumed during any point. Assessment question and answer sessions during the course monitor the students’ progress, and support the student’s progression, and learning objectives. There is a test at the end of each course. The questions on the test are completely based on the materials covered in the specific course. The student must get 70% or better to pass the test. If 70% is not achieved, then the training system automatically takes the student back through the course to review the materials that were missed on the test. The student is then returned to the test to try again for a second attempt if needed.
