EECI has been a career saver. I needed my directorship in order to open my childcare center and this was a timely partnership. EECI offered an accelerated option where I could finish at my own pace. I had a personal coach whom I spoke to after turning in each assignment and who lead me along what to do next in order to secure my directorship. My childcare center opens January 8, 2024. Thank you EECI!

I am a graduate of EECI and this school was a good fit for me. I had some personal slow downs and I reached out to my instructor. My instructor helped me to get back on track to complete my course. Communication with the school and the instructor is key. I recommend EECI to anyone who is considering to further their education in Early Childhood.

Getting my certification through this institute has been the best decision I've made. Not only do they teach but they give knowledge and advice on the child care field. You won't regret it!
