Why This Partnership Matters

The child care industry is changing fast, and professionals who hold credentials or degrees consistently earn tens of thousands more per year compared to peers without them.

That’s why CCEI, StraighterLine, and LineLeader teamed up: to make it easier (and more affordable) for you to grow your skills, earn certifications, and finish your degree without the usual roadblocks—such as cost and accessibility.
