Review:

This would be a great companion to the new or seasoned center director. It provides a wealth of user friendly information to improve performance at the center enrollement level as well of retention of current families. It was a delight to read. It contains a basic but a vital aspect of childcare programming, that of communication. Today's child care management will benefit from the contents of this book.
