Thinking back on the past few years, it seemed appropriate to dedicate some newsletter space to the concepts of grief and loss. COVID-19’s global impact is something we will feel for many years to come. Whether children and families experienced the loss of a loved one or the loss of a job or their home, they are likely going through the grieving process.

The Director's Certificate program with ChildCare Education Institute is the first program I participated in. I learned so much from the content in this certification course and will use the quality material for professional development requirements in my career. I would highly recommend CCEI to others. It was a great experience especially working on the course content at my own pace. The research-based material was organized and easy to follow.
