5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, well written, in-depth guide. Excellent, July 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Profitable Child Care: How to Start and Run a Successful Business (Hardcover)

This is an excellent source book for anyone considering opening a child care center. It is comprehensive, well written and logically organised. The author covers every area of developing a center, from organisation of the space to conflict resolution to highlighting the ten most common mistakes in running a center. I would thoroughly recommend this book for anyone considering starting a business in child care.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Profitable Child Care: How to Start and Run a Successful Business (Hardcover)

There are very, very few books on starting and operating a for-profit child care business (believe me, I have looked!). This one is a gem; very well written by a person who has been there. Her flexible time system is right-on, although I'm not sure I'd have the guts to implement it. Margins are thin in this business; this book should help you get all you can out of it.

This review is from: Profitable Child Care: How to Start and Run a Successful Business (Hardcover)

Great book for beginners as well as those experienced in the world of childcare and preschool. Offers realistic information related to starting up a center. Especially strong in the areas of writing a business plan and attaining funding. I learned quite a bit from reading this book.
