I read an email the other day and was really taken aback by the author's view of how parents select daycare. It seems she, a home daycare owner, feels that parents flock (in packs and herds no less) to daycare facilities that have well-groomed, fancy exteriors and the latest equipment, even though, she also assumes, these daycares are plagued by the same problems other centres face.

She also said in effect, that parents simply go where the Jones' go rather than make their own decisions. Having dealt with parents for over 25 years in the field, I can tell you most often this is simply not the case.

You know you've got a great book when it continues to require new print runs, cover re-designs, and is acclaimed as an "International Best Seller" by its publisher.  Such is the case with Start and Run a Home Daycare. 

Not only is Start and Run a Home Daycare in a brand new print run for 2007 (meaning it continues to sell out), it remains a hot seller on childcare.net.  The reason is obvious - it has helped thousands and thousands and thousands of people across North America and the international community start a professional home child care business in a way that sets them up for success. 

Welcome to my personal childcare.net blog!

Through this medium I hope to answer email questions we receive from our visitors so that everyone will benefit from the information, add commentary when I feel it is necessary, and just generally provide our visitors with more current information and resources.  This blog will also serve as our new Child Care Tip of the Week page.
