Opening Your Doors: A Comprehensive Guide to Running a Family Child Care

Are you a newly licensed provider looking for tips and resources for your multiple roles, including business owner and administrator, teacher, resource provider and advocate? 

Maybe you are a seasoned provider who has been running your early childhood program for many years now and are looking for new strategies to deal with ongoing challenges or are seeking a renewed sense of inspiration and remember why you chose this profession in the first place. 

​

Opening your Doors: A Comprehensive Guide to Running a Family Child Care is for ALL providers and can also be a valuable resource for those who support them. My hope is that the reflective questions in this book provide opportunities for readers to connect to a deep sense of purpose and understand how critically important family child care providers are to the children, families and communities they serve. I also encourage readers to use the provider highlights, case studies, tips and resources to support their professional growth and enhance the quality of their program. 

 

The book also introduces a model to help providers seek out professional development that meets the collective needs of running a family child care and individual goals for strengthening self-efficacy and transforming practice in all their roles.
