5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference for Anyone Starting a Child Care Business, May 28, 2008
By Alissa (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This hefty book is written by two early childhood specialists, and it shows. Although the text seems dense and overwhelming at times, in the long run this book proves to be a great value with information that you will find yourself referring to again and again as you start your own child care or daycare business. The well organized text includes thorough information for those just starting a small business and those operating a large child care center. The thorough appendix and the CD-ROM with all sorts of printable forms are worth the cover price alone.
