Techniques In Childcare: Planning And Operating A Quality Family Daycare

With more and more 2-career families in America, the need for day cares has grown accordingly. This very comprehensive program walks viewers through the steps of establishing a family day care service. Interviews with established family day care operators are sprinkled throughout the information-packed chapters on starting out; research, rules, and regulations; planning, safety and health; utilizing space wisely; creating the proper atmosphere; drop-offs and pick-ups: dealing with the transitions; the importance of a daily schedule; tips on nutrition; having a written policy; training, education and support; and the business end of running a family day care, among other topics. A tremendous amount of usable information is neatly tucked into this well-paced, excellently produced guide. Highly recommended.
