Editorial Reviews

Review

This book eliminates the mystique that surrounds contracts between providers and parents. Providers are often uncertain of their rights, such as the right to be paid, the right to establish certain rules, or the right to take a paid vacation. Family Child Care Contracts & Policies is an excellent guide for providers to the rights and obligations of both parties in the family child care relationship. -- Phyllis Karasov, Attorney

More About the Author

I've been an author, trainer and advocate for family child care providers since 1981. I conduct training workshops and webinars across the country and write a blog: www.tomcopelandblog.com.

I live in St. Paul, MN with my wife and two cats (Duke and Ella). I'm a graduate of Macalester College and William Mitchell College of Law.

I worked for 28 years at Resource for Child Caring where I was director of Redleaf National Institute, the national center for the business of family child care. I've been on my own as a consultant since 2009.

I enjoy:
* Helping family child care providers understand complex business issues (record keeping, taxes, contracts, marketing, legal, insurance, money management, retirement planning)
* Representing family child care providers at IRS audits (where I've always won)
* Reading on a wide variety of subjects (biographies, classical fiction, history, politics, Mark Twain)
* Listening to jazz, Emmy Lou Harris, Van Morrison, Duke Ellington, Neil Young

Being new to the family daycare business I really needed a book that would put me on the right track, this was it. I was able to write my contract and policy handbook knowing it was complete in every way. There is other good information in it as well. This is a wonderful book!
