Professional Child Care College, located in South Africa, grew out of a course that was started in Cape Town in 1990 to train professional Nannies. A branch was established in Johannesburg in 1991. In order to better meet the need for good child care the course was expanded to include the various modules which are in operation today. The Johannesburg branch became independent in 1995 and the Professional Child Care College was born.
Famous quotes containing the words professional, child, care and/or college:
“I sometimes wonder whether, in the still, sleepless hours of the night, the consciences of ... professional gossips do not stalk them. I myself believe in a final reckoning, when we shall be held accountable for our misdeeds. Do they? If so, they have cause to worry over many scoops that brought them a day’s dubious laurels and perhaps destroyed someone’s peace forever.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
“Taking a child to the toy store is the nearest thing to a death wish parents can have.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

—The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, I, ch.4 (1985)
“Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.”
