Family Child Care Administration: 16 Hour Course

This 16-hour course utilizes interactive sessions to guide participants through best practices in family child care, alongside fundamental business practices such as projecting a family child care budget, maintaining records, organizing expenses, and preparing for tax season. We will identify and review the necessary policies and procedures in family child care. As a final project, participants will either create or update their own Parent Package, which includes their center’s policies, contracts, daily schedule, programming, and more. Participants are required to have a basic understanding of word processing to complete the Parent Package document.

– Identify and review policies and procedures, and create or update a Parent Package that must be approved before the final session.
