In college I majored in Accounting.  I have never actually used my accounting background except in my child care business.  I have also taken many business management classes and early childhood education classes.  I have a certificate for Home Child Care.  These educational experiences have helped me so much over the years.  I am always continuing my education.  I am currently taking more Early Childhood classes at the local college to obtain my Early Childhood Education Degree.
