Training you to lead families toward better sleep

No, once you graduate you won’t be affiliated with The Cradle Coach company. You will be free to create your own business and launch the business model that works best for you or get hired with another consulting company. The Cradle Coach will not send clients to you and we won’t take any additional fees once you complete the tuition payment. 

The course is a self-paced, online program that includes quizzes, resources, and downloadable templates. So it all depends on how much time you have to put into the certification. Each module is about 1 hour in length and takes about 1-2 hours to complete each assignment.

If we could change one thing about what we do, we would change the term “sleep training”. When people hear about sleep training, they automatically think they will be forced to let their child cry. As your sleep guide, our mission here at TCCA is to find the right method of sleep plan that suits each unique family and situation. We don’t practice with one program or one method. We educate on many methods and our goal always is for our clients to choose a method that is presented to them, that they are comfortable with, one that suits their child’s personality and temperament. We will offer our clients the guidance and support that is needed to make it through the process.
