The Institute for Early Childhood Education (IECE) distance learning classes are specifically designed for students with busy schedules. Students can earn continuing education units toward completing selected early childhood certificate programs without ever stepping foot in a classroom.

Our most popular online program, the state-approved Florida Child Care Professional Credential (FCCPC), qualifies early childhood educators to receive their Staff Credential through the Department of Children and Families. Our FCCPC program is also an approved course through the T.E.A.C.H. Scholarship program which provides early childhood educators with tuition assistance.

The IECE provides child care staff with a pathway for professional development, quality education, and certification goals. Our coursework is delivered through the Blackboard online learning management system that provides easy access to courses, a self-paced learning environment, and 24/7 accessibility.
