We suggest you do research on classes before taking this or any class. Look at the website, the teacher, and the actual classes to make sure you are receiving quality material. Here are some things to watch out for:

  1. People who claim they will certify you as a Newborn Care Specialist after taking their course. You should go to an outside entity to be certified. That entity is the NCSA.     
  2. People who are offering 1-day classes. There is NO way you can learn all you must learn in one day. This would be a very basic class and people are offering them for $350 – $700. This is a very expensive way to learn how to diaper a baby as that is all they will have time to teach.  
  3. People who are selling a manual or book and telling you that you are qualified to do the work after reading their book. They charge between $250 and $350 for the manual. You need a TEACHER who instructs you in newborn care NOT someone who gives you a book to read.   
  4. Be sure the teacher is qualified and available for you when you have questions. Read the testimony page. If she does not have one or her testimonies are old…consider that.
  5. Is there a mentor who will mentor you for a lifetime? Gentle Ventures is one of the only companies that actually do this. We
  6. We teach all the basic and advanced subjects in your class.  We do not have different levels of learning.  We charge one price and teach you extensively.  We cover more subjects than any other course using scientific methods and experience to make these subjects interesting and fun to learn.
