At CTO, it's about more than certification.

It’s about actually understanding what to do when something happens. Our trainings are designed to be clear and practical, so you leave knowing how to respond in real-life situations, not just memorizing steps. It’s about feeling confident, not perfect, just confident enough to stay calm, think clearly, and take action when it matters most. It’s also about staying engaged, because when training is interactive, it’s easier to retain what you learn and feel ready to use it later.

We believe training should work for you, which is why we offer flexible options for both individuals and teams, built to fit real schedules, not disrupt them. And at the core of it all, it’s about people. As a family-run business, we care about the experience just as much as the outcome, and we’re invested in the communities we serve.

If that's the kind of training you've been looking for, visit ChildcareTrainingOhio.com to get you or your team signed up for a class.

CTO was founded by Tara from a genuine desire to serve people better.

With a combined background in childcare, public schools, and special education, she saw that many administrators, providers, and the communities that they support needed training that was more accessible, more flexible, and free from the usual extra fees and complications. She founded CTO to meet the organziations both large and small, as well as professionals who were brand new to their roles and those with years of experience.

As the company grew, Joel joined as the primary trainer and later became co-owner. If you’ve trained with Joel, you know he brings knowledge, energy, and plenty of laughter to every class. Tara continues to lead so much of what happens behind the scenes while focusing on growth, relationships, and community outreach.

Today, the next generation is part of the story too. Yesh, Tara and Joel’s oldest child, is CTO’s newest team member and helps lead both in-person and online Zoom CPR reviews.

The family’s commitment to serving others extends beyond CTO as well. Tara and Joel are also full-time independent providers through Ohio’s Department of Developmental Disabilities and co-owners of Community Grounds: Trolley Café & Mercantile.

At the heart of it all, CTO has always been about people, community, and making training more approachable for everyone.
