Great book with HELPFUL advice, 2002-04-16
My mom, sister in law and I are in the process of opening our own daycare center--we find that this book is very helpful-with suggestions on where to get a buisness loan, to how to look for the perfect location to setting up the center itself, it can't be beat. We know nothing about getting a buisness started but we love children and this book reinforced our desire to take the leap into the unknown.
Absolutely wonderful resource!

More of a Center Book, 2001-05-10
This book was not as helpful as I really thought it was going to be. I am opening a daycare in my home and this books speaks quite abit about how to run your own daycare "Center". She talks about finding space, getting a loan, buying "Center" equipment. So if you are going to open your own "Center" then its great - but for all of you who are getting your licence to run it out of your home - try something else - especially for the price of the book ! YIKES!

Great Reading, 2000-06-03
Great Book! It was easy to read and I especially enjoyed the lessons learned from child care professionals referenced throughout the book. Provided practical knowledge on everything from up-start, grand opening to dealing with difficult situations like child abuse. Also get Profitable Child Care by Nan Howkins
