Reviews for this Online Course
- Thank you Posted by Stacie on 11th Apr 2014
I will continue to limit all electronic media in our facility. I want everyday to be a productive, fun day of exploraion and learning with hands on activities not video games or the like. Thank you for bringing much needed awareness to a very important subject for our children. - Overall I thought that the training and education was great! Posted by Emily on 18th Feb 2014
I liked the instructor talking and reading along with the instructor. I think that was the best part of the training for me.
