Smart Horizons was born from a need for consistent early childhood education for child care professionals. Through partnerships with several leading child care organizations, we’ve developed some of the best and most comprehensive early childhood education courses available today. Smart Horizons offers unparalleled options when it comes to delivering child care training. No longer will you need to wait for a minimum number of students to enroll before beginning training. With Smart Horizons, your child care training is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It doesn’t matter if you’re enrolling one student or 1000, Smart Horizons allows you to begin any time from anywhere with an Internet connection.

Covering a wide range of topics, our courses are designed to meet the core competencies outlined by the Child Development Associate (CDA) National Credentialing Program. All of our courses earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) provided by GRCMA Early Childhood Directors and meet the course requirements for a CDA Credential or CDA renewal. GRCMA Early Childhood Directors is authorized by the International Association for Continuing Education & Training (IACET) to offer CEUs for this program. Smart Horizons is based on an annual-subscription model. Enrolled students have access to all existing courses in the Smart Horizons catalog, as well as any additional training added throughout the year, all for only $199 per student per year.

Unlike other Web-based child care training products, there are no hidden fees with Smart Horizons. Your yearly subscription includes a private, secure portal accessible from your organization’s Web site. The entire Smart Horizons catalog, and any organizational training and value-added materials you wish to add will be posted in your portal to train child-care personnel. There is never any additional charge for awarding CEUs.
