Childcare Management Certificate

The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Caring for young children is an immediate need that will produce lifelong impacts –for both you and the littlest learners. With almost two in three households with children led by two working parents, a career in childcare is a rapidly growing field with multiple job openings. If you love babies, toddlers and pre-kindergarteners, the rewards are priceless.

By earning a certificate in childcare management, you will discover how to contribute to the intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of newborns, toddlers and young children. You will also gain practical knowledge in the business aspects of childcare, spanning everything from accounting and insurance to marketing and human resource management.

For a certificate in childcare management, you will complete six three-credit courses, equipping you with the most relevant, contemporary tools to work at a daycare, preschool, summer camp, or home setting as a full or part-time nanny.

The need for skilled, reliable, loving early childhood workers is great, so opportunities are wide open.
