Work & Family Consulting, Inc. > Correspondence Courses

Learning when it is convenient for you, choosing topics you are interested in, and working from the convenience of home are just some of the great reasons students decide to complete their early childhood education requirements through the correspondence courses from Work & Family Consulting. Taking a course through correspondence puts the student in control of their learning experience in the following ways:

Students can complete their courses during the time of day they feel they have the most energy, are most alert, and are most productive.
Correspondence courses are portable. You can take them along just about anywhere!
Students may work on their courses when it is convenient for them and the needs of their families.
When completing courses, students may choose a pace which is most comfortable for them. They may take their time without rushing.
Students do not have an attendance requirement to fulfill, as in traditional classes. If an unexpected illness or emergency arises, it does not conflict with class time.
While many traditional courses can take up to several weeks to complete, when taking a correspondence course, all materials are received upon order and the student is in control of when it is completed.
Correspondence courses allow students to re-read or review materials for better understanding, retention, and completion of assignments.
Computer problems do not prevent students from completing their courses.
Students with young children are spared the cost of hiring babysitters during class sessions....all students save gas $ too!

Correspondence courses offered by Work & Family Consulting, Inc. are uniquely designed and different from most other early childhood education correspondence courses. Each course includes three different types of learning experiences:

Instruction through reading materials and worksheets.
Open-ended discussion questions for reflection and application of appropriate early childhood practice.
Hands-on application activities which demonstrate appropriate early childhood practices.

These three types of learning experiences provide the student with an in-depth study of issues pertinent to the field of early childhood education today.
