"The text is well organized and covers a great deal of sub topics in the areas of health, safety and nutrition. The author writes as if she is speaking to professional caregivers and seems to understand the complexities of running a program for young children." - Karen Roth, M.A., National-Louis University; Skokie, IL
"I thought the activities at the end of each chapter were interesting ones and provided good reinforcement and practical experience with the concepts being delivered. The Web resources are a definite plus for today's student." - Denise M. Binkley, M.Ed., Oklahoma City University; Oklahoma City, OK
"The most impressive features of the textbook are the sections which discuss the implications for caregivers as they reflect the roles and responsibilities of caregivers in relation to chapter topics. Other impressive features are the tables, charts and checklist within the textbook."- Patricia Weaver, M.Ed., Fayetteville Technical Community College; Fayetteville, NC
