1.0 out of 5 stars Gives very general info ... not worth the money!, October 16, 2006
By 
This book gave the most basic and general information about opening a child care service. It claims to cover both centers and family day care, but really only discusses centers in any depth. This is NOT the book for anyone looking to open a family day care. It covers information that people should already know anyway (except that it does write about how many mops and trash cans centers should have). Please don't waste your money on this one. Steelsmith's book is MUCH better - you will get a lot more out of that one!
