A Light Overview of Running Childcare Business by Alissa (NJ)  3 Stars
May 29, 2008
This book presents an overview of what's involved in running a childcare business. It's good reading if you are not sure about starting your own day care and want to know what sort of things to expect. The book employs a short, quick style which includes tips and checklists, and makes this a book you can get through in just a couple of sittings. There are some reproducible forms included in the text as well.
The author spoke with a variety of people who started their own child care service and each of the chapters is based on their own direct experiences. There is also a chapter on starting a child's transportation service.
Despite the fact that this seems like a primer book, the marketing chapter had more tips for established businesses as opposed to new businesses.
There is an appendix with contact information for some agencies and services mentioned in the book.
If you are looking for a book with a bit more substance, I would recommend Opening & Operating A Successful Child Care Center Opening & Operating A Successful Child Care Center

Gives very general info ... not worth the money! by www.nicolereneephoto.net (Baltimore, MD)  1 Stars
October 17, 2006
This book gave the most basic and general information about opening a child care service. It claims to cover both centers and family day care, but really only discusses centers in any depth. This is NOT the book for anyone looking to open a family day care. It covers information that people should already know anyway (except that it does write about how many mops and trash cans centers should have). Please don't waste your money on this one. Steelsmith's book is MUCH better - you will get a lot more out of that one!
