"I truly enjoyed the format and the navigation of this class! The videos, articles and documents were easy to read and follow through. As a full-time nanny caring for school aged children, completing The baby's first year course has made me feel more confident in caring for a younger age group, specifically 0-12 months old. I definitely learned a great deal of information and PDFs that I am printing out for future use!"
