This review is from: How to Start a Home-Based Day-Care Business, 4th (Home-Based Business Series) (Paperback)
Very useful for starting a Day-Care business but is focused on Family Child Care and not on large scale commercial centers. However, the author covers a broad range of issues from Financial, Managerial, Human Resources to activities for the children and problem solving. Start Your Own Child -Care Service by Entrepreneur Press and Jacquelyn Lynn is also a good resource and complement to this book for anyone thinking or planning of starting a daycare whether small or large scale.
