The author uses a whole page or two to say maybe one informative thing at best, very repetitive, typical bad college text book and of course over priced!

Overall this book didn't offer most of the information I was expecting.

This book gives a thorough and accurate picture of what high quality childcare administration entails. It includes everything from the tasks of a director, to budgeting, hiring and training staff, the potential roles of parents and community volunteers in an early learning environment, and information about accreditation. I used this book for a graduate course and have decided not to sell it back. I refer to the information often in my current job as a childcare director. If you are interested in seeking a career in childcare administration, or are a new director, this book is will be extremely valuable to you.

With a number of child care administration books on the market, it may be hard for authors to create a text that is distinguishable from the others. Phyllis Click & Kim Karkos succeed in doing this because their product puts an extremely heavy emphasis on the managerial and staffing side of administering a child care center. They take painstaking detail to cover every minute aspect of managing a child care center using lots of examples along the way. If you want a play-by-play way to take care of your staffing needs, then this book outlines it and fills in the details with vividness and accessibility.

The rest of the book is pretty standard, but these two sections make it worth you time for $92.

Needed the book quickly for class. I received a new book and with fast delivery. I give it a 10!

Shopping with Amazon.com is the best way to go. I ordered my book and within 3 days (paid for extra shipping) it was delivered. I paid for a used book and the book which I received was in immaculate condition. The price which I paid was less than a quarter of the price that I would have had to pay for a used book at a local store. Thanks Amazon.com. You are the GREATEST!!!!

The book was just as described - in good condition and the proper edition. I received it in a timely manner

I'm very pleased about the condition of the book and the length of time it took for me to received this item, thanks.
