1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth your time, March 11, 2000

This review is from: Start Your Own Childcare Business (Start Your Own Business) (Paperback)

This book was clearly created for any type of business start up and contains very general information about starting up a business. There are many parts of the book that are completely unrelated to childcare, as in packagine, sales tax and beleive it or not mail order and catalog businesses... There is some good information about things to do when starting up a business, but you can get this help from other books that also have more childcare specific inforamation.

This review is from: Start Your Own Childcare Business (Start Your Own Business) (Paperback)

This author is clearly trying to make just a quick buck. I bought this book for me girlfriend because she is in the process of opening a child care center. This book is totally useless... DO NOT BUY IT

The book was really good to put things in perspective of a business view. It had very little to say specifically about childcare but I thought the book was good enough to get some helpful information from it and pass it on to a friend who had nothing to do with childcare.
