ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI), a nationally accredited, IACET CEU granting, distance training institution dedicated exclusively to the child care industry, offers students access to the CCEI Professional Development Library to complete up to six courses at no cost on Friday, May 6, in honor of Provider Appreciation Day.

Provider Appreciation Day was first introduced in New Jersey in 1996 and is celebrated to raise awareness of the importance of early child care providers and teachers. On May 6, caregivers can log into CCEI's learning management system and choose and complete up to six courses from over 100 IACET CEU approved online courses, in English or Spanish.

"Ongoing professional development is a large part of maintaining an educated child care workforce and online training is one way to meet this goal. We encourage all those involved with the care of children to try a course. Access to the professional development library for Provider Appreciation Day is our way of giving thanks to those who provide such a positive impact on the care and development of our children," said Maria C.
