We believe that educated families are strong families. Our online learning platform is designed to satisfy in-service training needs of foster families. We also have a large body of coursework to support families looking for elective ways to better serve their foster children. Each one hour course is followed by a 10-question quiz. Scores of 80% or higher on the quiz entitle the learner to a Certificate of Completion.
We work with foster care agencies across the country, many of whom partner with us to offer families discounted or free access to all of our courses and packages.
Please fill out this form if you would like to let your agency know about education partnership opportunities at Creating a Family.
*FosterEd courses have been discounted by a scholarship fund to reduce the cost of foster parent training.
