Build confidence. Strengthen skills. Prepare your students for real‑world childcare careers.
Give your students the hands‑on practice they need to understand the responsibilities, challenges, and rewards of caring for young children. From engaging lessons to realistic caregiving simulations, the CCE Program equips educators with a complete toolkit to introduce foundational childcare skills in an authentic, career‑focused way.
What makes the CCE Program Unique?
- 3‑Month and 9‑Month Child Care Experience Babies let students practice caring for infants at different developmental stages
- Students work individually or in teams to care for multiple infants assigned to their care
- Includes everything needed to simulate a childcare environment — cribs, a highchair, changing pads, and infant accessories like pacifiers, soothing blankets, and solid‑food spoons

How are educators using the CCE Program?
“This new childcare simulation program just comes and does exactly that – like, exactly that – transitioning from teaching students to be parents to teaching them what they need to know in a career-based environment.”
Letha Hougland
Ponderosa High School FCS Teacher
“The CCE program gives my students a look at that work – they get to decide what’s going on when the baby cries, how to handle four babies that are crying at one time.”
