This textbook is required for the CARE COURSE: Child Care Administration

Back Cover:
Most directors of child care centers and preschool programs became administrators because they were good teachers and they relate well to other people. Unfortunately, many directors find that being personable and knowing how to be a good teacher of young children are not sufficient qualifications to be an effective administrator. Most directors acquire the skills required through trial and error. Others take special courses in administration. However, many directors do not have the time or funds to obtain the specialized training needed for the job. This manual is a practical resource for directors who may not have access to formal training. Topics are addressed concisely, and examples relevant to the child care are used. Helpful work sheets and exercises to facilitate learning are provided. This book will help directors become effective administrators who use the power of human interaction at its fullest potential.
