Certificates are Issued Only Once Per Training Title

Important note - Early childhood on-demand training certificates are only issued once per title. If you have received a certificate of completion for an on-demand, 2-hour training at any time in the past, you are not eligible to receive another certificate for the same course title again, even if it has been a year or more since you last completed the training.

When it comes to brain development, the first years are essential. Young children thrive when they receive high-quality, sensitive, responsive care. The development of the brain is influenced by many factors, especially a child’s relationships with caregivers. This 2-hour on-demand course reinforces what research has taught us about brain development, as well as presenting the latest information about the crucial role the early childhood caregiver plays in helping to build and shape a young child's brain.
