Features

Dozens of forms and sample documents included in the book are also available for download from the companion website so that administrators may examine them as models and modify them for their own use.

A full chapter on program evaluation and assessment supports directors in maintaining high quality services and achieving accreditation and / or quality incentive awards.

Key words and their definitions in the chapter opener clarify business terms at the outset so that readers will have a clear understanding of their meaning as they read the chapter.

Reflection/Discussion sections interspersed throughout the book encourage current and future early childhood administrators to think critically about documents, resources, and issues in practice.

Making It Work activities at the end of the chapter may be useful assignments in university courses on Early Childhood Administration as well as additional items for reflection by current administrators.

End-of-chapter Resources and Web links sections suggest additional books, articles, documents and websites in which child care directors may find useful information to apply to their practice.
