The Everyday Guide to Opening and Operating a Child Care Center

Tells how to develop an early childhood program, discusses rules and regulations, and covers financing, budgets, insurance, staff, paperwork, and support groups

Child care is an increasingly complex business. Whether the provider chooses an at-home setting--recently discussed in Patricia C. Gallagher's Start Your Own At Home Child Care Business ( LJ 6/15/89)--or a larger center in a separate facility, child care today involves issues of licensing, regulation, and security, as well as the traditional concerns of program, safety, and costs. In this book, the authors, all child care professionals, have assembled a comprehensive manual for operating a nonhome center, outlining numerous problems that need to be solved before the goal of making a living at providing high-quality child care can be achieved. The result is thorough, useful, and needed. Recommended.
