Welcome to the Wonderful World of Childcare!

Author Jan Shepardson & daughter

As a former daycare provider, I know how vital the role of provider is to children and parents.

A working parent can only work well if they know that their child is in a safe, friendly environment, and that is why millions of moms and dads choose to leave their children in daycare homes, rather than centers.

You have taken on quite a responsibility when you opened your doors as a daycare home, and you are to be commended for the long hours and hard work that you provide to children.

You will have the advantage of watching children grow, perhaps from infancy, and many will become like members of your own family.

I started doing daycare when the Amanda (left) was one, and John (right) wasn't even a twinkle in my eye. Amanda just graduated from college, and John's now in college, but none of us would trade one day of my being home -- raising them -- for a million dollars!

It is because of my years as an inhome daycare provider, in addition to my decade of service with the Child and Adult Care Food Program, that I have created this easy to read and easy to follow resource guide.

You will learn how to become a businesswoman, and daycare provider...in addition to still being mom with this Guide!

If you are dissatisfied in any way, please know that I offer a complete 100% money back refund for up to 30 days.
