Description

Surviving the Game: Childcare Chronicles is a heartfelt and empowering memoir by Kimberly Watkins-Almond, chronicling her decades-long journey as a childcare provider. Starting in 1995 with a bold vision for overnight childcare, Kimberly defied doubts about her age and motherhood status, overcoming personal trials and professional skepticism to build a thriving, inclusive daycare. Her story reveals the emotional resilience and leadership required to care for children while navigating financial stress, marital struggles, and societal judgment.More than just a business guide, this book is a tribute to the unsung heroes of childcare. Kimberly shares hard-earned lessons on setting boundaries, maintaining professionalism, adapting to technology, building trust with families, and sustaining a nurturing, structured environment. From managing staff and parental expectations to creating a safe haven for children with special needs, Kimberly's candid reflections offer wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools for anyone working in early childhood education.With humor, humility, and unwavering love for children, Surviving the Game shows that childcare is not just a job—it’s a calling. This inspiring chronicle is both a survival guide and a celebration of the passion, grit, and grace it takes to truly make a difference in the lives of children and families. Read more
