    • FINALLY, Exactly What I Need To Succeed!
Format: Paperback
Before pursuing my Master of Arts in Early Childhood Education, I seriously considered opening my own PreSchool/Child Care Center. Unfortunately there were no ideal courses or even a handbook that I could find to give me the confidence to go forward in achieving this professional goal, so instead I entered a career as a Kindergarten teacher. Although I have enjoyed this path, I also have always wondered about the missed opportunity of my “lost dream”. . . until now! With this book as my greatest resource, I am empowered by the incredible and detailed information within the pages of The Basics of Starting a Child Care Business. I feel completely prepared and guided in a step by step format to not only follow through with my past goals, but to also have the assurance that I WILL succeed by following the expertise and recommendations of this author! I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate Marnie Forestieri sharing her own personal journey as a way to give back to others, especially those of us who have such strong desires to be accomplished entrepreneurs in the field of Early Childhood Growth & Development. My sincere thanks and gratitude for the gift of this exceptionally written book, organized in a way that is very easy to follow and understand! Never give up on your dreams!! ... show more
