I received my Florida Director's Certificate renewal with CCEI. I choose this program over others because my Director's Certificate had expired and I wanted to continue to be highly qualified from a trusted training provider for a supervisor position when the opportunity presented itself. In this certificate renewal program, I learned so much about what it takes to become a manager at an early childhood center. The program covered many themes and industry-related topics. I plan on taking more courses at CCEI. I highly recommend and encourage my coworkers and friends who are in the early childhood field to enroll with CCEI.
