High-Quality Online Training for Jamaica’s Early Childhood Professionals
ChildCareEd provides high-quality, self-paced online training designed to support early childhood teachers, caregivers, nannies, childcare assistants, and private childcare programs across Jamaica. Our courses strengthen key skills in child development, health and safety, positive guidance, classroom management, and early learning practices.
While Jamaica’s Early Childhood Commission (ECC) requires certain certifications to be completed locally through ECC-approved institutions, ChildCareEd provides supplemental professional development that many Jamaican early childhood programs use for ongoing training, staff development, and CEU-based learning.
All courses are accessible 24/7, affordable, and created by early childhood education specialists.
