Product Description

From Library Journal
In the five years since Karen Murphy's A House Full of Children ( LJ 2/15/84) was published, the need for day care has increased along with the attention paid to improving its quality. Gallagher , a former corporate executive who now runs a successful day care facility from her home, makes an excellent contribution with this manual for starting a day care home. The business aspects, including licensing, insurance, finances, and advertising, are treated thoroughly, and the book has a useful collection of sample forms and resources. Sections on health, safety, and problem-solving, as well as substantial material on daily activities for children, make this book essential for care providers. See also Danalee Buhler's The Very Best Child Care and How To Find It , reviewed in this issue, p. 67.

From Booklist
A reprise of a 1989 Doubleday imprint, with expansions and revisions to include up-to-date information for anyone considering at-home child care as a business. In fact, that's the focus of Gallagher's first three chapters: to assess whether one has the patience, stamina, and other aptitudes, and to set up appropriate forms, standards, and rules. Much of her book is devoted to creative ideas, from 25 sample daily activity plans to 15 craft recipes and a wealth of play and learning activities. Tips, sidebars, and sample forms help a fledgling caregiver prioritize the business start-up, while psychological advice--dealing with behavior problems, late-paying parents, and so forth--gives a commonsense grounding to those who might think kids are all play and no work. Appended are current state child-care licensing offices, child-care organizations, and other sources of help. Barbara Jacobs

4.0 out of 5 stars With one eye opened, May 16 2000
I had to read and review this book until I finished it. I was up all night with one eye open. Starting your own business is one thing reading this book made some sense to it. Great find!
