Our class teaches babysitters to be proactive in solving problems and interactive with their charges. We teach appropriate activities for different age groups, insights into child care and discipline, and how to support the routines and values parents have set in place. We cover the Business of Babysitting and teach students to evaluate and use their gifts and talents in the Child Care field.

How is this course utilized in Educational Settings?

1. We fully support teachers and group leaders with an online curriculum and enrichment guide. Teachers can use our guide as a supplement to the standalone, online course or as the core curriculum of their own class.

2. After purchasing discounted registration numbers online or through an invoice or PO from your school, teachers are sent a list of passcodes via email.

3. Teachers register those passcodes with the name of each student and the place where teachers would like Certificates and Business Kits mailed.

4. The teacher gives each student their own registered passcode which is good for a year from date of registation.

5. Students can either work independently at school or at home, together or in groups. The course is available online 24/7.

6. After working through the material, each student individually has a year from registration to review each topic, take and pass the Chapter Tests and Final Mastery Test online. Students can review each topic and take the test as many times as needed to pass.

7. After your students have individually taken their tests and passed the course, our program automatically alerts Customer Service to send their personalized Babysitter's Certificate and Business Kit to the name and address you gave us upon class registration. Certificates and Business Kits can be mailed to your school or group office for special presentation, or to individual students, depending upon your choice at time of passcode registration.

8. Class Notes and summaries of our online material are available in easy to print format, so your students can print out and take material with them on babysitting jobs.
