“Personal contact with others in our profession avoids the isolation factor, helps us stay in contact with other people in our field and make new contacts. Each of the trainer’s personal life experiences helps them present the topic in their own unique way, and broadens our knowledge basis with more than the presented material. Hands-on learning is not just for children!”
“PRC makes learning fun by getting students involved and hands-on! I prefer to take my courses at The Promise Center rather than online because it offers more than just a book and quiz. After leaving from a class, I feel like I actually learned something that can help me improve my skills and provide better care for children!”
