Stepping Out on Faith: How to Open Up a Quality C hildcare
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.
Author Deborah L. Tillman decided to rely on faith and quit her job as a
staff accountant to open a home-based school. She eventually expanded to
bigger site with a staff of six serving 45 children, called Happy Home Child
Learning Center, in Alexandria, VA. Because of Tillman's winning program,
the childcare center quickly developed a six-month waiting list. In 1998
Tillman opened a second site, with 102 students and 16 full-time staff
members. Both centers have been nominated for a Small Business of the Year
Award and are accredited by the National Examiner, the Charles Ross Show in
Atlanta, GA and Washington D.C.'s Heaven 1580 Author's Corner. Tillman, her
husband and their son reside in VA.
