DEVELOPING & ADMINISTERING:A CHILD CARE AND EDUCATION PROGRAM

Description

Emphasizing the director's responsibility as a leader of both people and programs in diverse communities, DEVELOPING AND ADMINISTERING A CHILD CARE AND EDUCATION PROGRAM, Ninth Edition, covers the business and interpersonal skills child development professionals need to implement an effective program for young children and their families. It is written primarily for future early childhood educators whether or not they plan to work in the administrative aspects of the field, and is also a rich resource for practicing directors. In this thoroughly updated edition, the authors provide practical information on all aspects of directing a program, including curriculum selection; funding; budgeting; selecting, training, and supervising staff; housing the program and purchasing equipment; working with children and parents; accrediting and licensing an early childhood center; and carrying out program evaluation and quality improvement strategies. Review: Rented... May Purchase... - I rented this book because I thought it would help me with preparing to open my high school. In my mind, the basic principals needed for opening a preschool should carry over to opening a high school. I wish activities came with it or were included in the book or in an attachment to the book as a way to apply the information. But it comes with a LOT of examples and figures in the text that make the information more logical. I plan to purchase it when the rental has expired. I may get the physical book next time. Review: A good administrative book. - Very informative and detailed.
