This online program also provides instruction on office technology, English usage and written communication, time and stress management, management theory, critical thinking skills, and interpersonal communications. This online program prepares the student for entry-level employment as a child day care worker and provides guidance for starting a home-based day care.

Job Outlook

The demand for child care providers is on the rise as more parents enter the workforce along with the widely recognized importance for early childhood education.

Job seekers who are qualified through education and training should have little trouble finding employment.

Employment, job placement, and/or salary/salary ranges are not guaranteed to graduates upon program completion.

Student Testimonial

“Being a Blackstone Career Institute student, I have been able to have a job while studying, and still be able to spend time with my husband. I love that BCl’s classes are at your own pace, I really did complete it at my own pace! Shortly after I started my Child Care Provider certificate, I moved across the country and obtained a job, but because of the leniency of the courses and no deadlines, I was able to finish without anything being late! I love how thorough the course was. I love that I learned everything in the books, I often think, in a traditional classes that we don’t go over all of the material in the books. That was not the case in BCI! I am so proud of myself for being able to accomplish this and get my Certificate! I love Blackstone Career Institute!” – Megan, Child Care Provider
