Stepping Out on Faith: How to Open Up a Quality Childcare Center

Stepping Out on Faith: How to Open Up a Quality Childcare Center by Deborah L. Tillman is about one woman's struggle to find reliable childcare. This informative book recounts in detail incidents that occurred during each of Tillman's seven horrific childcare provider experiences, which eventually led her to pen a book and establish her own childcare center. The book outlines step by step the planning, licensing, policies and procedures, staffing, curriculum development and room arrangement involved in opening up a childcare center. The book also provides valuable information on developing financial marketing plans, as well as inexpensive advertising techniques. If you've dreamed of opening a childcare center and you meet the criteria, the only thing left to do after reading this book is step out in faith and do it.
