Both Mail-based and Web-based lessons consist of a workbook, instructional video, and assignment questions. Choose between doing the lessons at your computer or having the video and workbook sent in the mail. Completed assignments are returned by mail or sent electronically to Better Kid Care for review by an early childhood instructor. Participants are sent a certificate upon successful completion of each lesson.

Mail-Based - Receive educational material (video, workbook and coupon for one free review of assignments) in the mail with instructions to mail back assignments for review.

Web-Based - Online access to educational materials with instructions to electronically submit assignments for review.
