Deborah
Eaton
Past
President, National Association For
Family Child Care - "[The
Soho Center has created] a high quality program to help providers in
their
professional development. Your video offers valuable information and
guidance
for operating a successful, legal family child care business and is
supportive
of providers and child care groups serving the provider
community."
Kathy
Modigliani
Director,
The Family Child Care Project,
Wheelock College - "This
video is
a must for family child care trainers and a valuable addition to child
care resource libraries . . . Most new family child
care providers
do not realize that they are starting a small business. They think
about
the financial and legal aspects of their work with fear and loathing.
They
cause themselves grief as well as earning less than they could. In
turn,
these attitudes contribute to the high turnover rate, since unstable or
inadequate income is the largest cause of providers quitting their
jobs.
In The Business of Family
Child Care,
diverse providers endorse the simple steps by Tom Copeland. The
convincing
message is, 'It's easy . . . It's worth it . . . If I can do it, anyone
can.' Thank you for this great new resource."
Mary Layton
Director,
Communications, Child Welfare
League of America (CWLA) - "The
Soho Center's
video, 'The Business of Family Child Care,' is a wonderfully produced
presentation
that covers important rules in a clear, easy-to-understand manner.
Family
child care providers will welcome this video - it's made for real
people
doing the real work of caring for children. I hope everyone in the
family
child care business and all those who are considering the business get
the opportunity to see this video."
Lura Lee
Widman
Executive
Director, Nutrition Education
& Child Care Food Program (Massachusetts) - "When
we heard about the tape, we hoped it was the answer to our quest for a
professional business training tool. The day we viewed it, we ordered
50
copies to use in our initial training with providers. It was
great!"
Betty Cassidy
Past Vice
President, National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC)
- "I
like the optimistic overview
of the video. With words like, 'Be the best you can be,' the video will
appeal to both novice and experienced providers. For new providers
entering
the field, it will enable them to get off to a good start. For
providers
who have dabbled in care giving, it will enable them to refocus and
make
a solid business commitment. It is an exciting, much needed video which
addresses the business of family child care in such a nurturing way. It
provides a teaching tool which will receive wide welcome at Leadership
Training Seminars, USDA Food Training Classes, family child care
conferences,
national and local family child care association gatherings, child care
resource and referral agencies, and child care regulation agencies. I
wish
every family child care provider in America will have the opportunity
of
seeing this video."
Ann M. Lastovica,
Ph.D.
Cooperative
Extension Specialist, Family
Management/State Extension Coordinator for Home-Based and Micro
Business - "This
video provides an excellent summary of the business information that
providers
need to know. It fills a real need for all of us who work with
providers
and individuals starting child care businesses. It complements our
existing
resource materials and is easy to use."
Carolyn
Montanari
Training
Specialist, Yours for Children,
(Massachusetts) -"The
Business of Family Child Care is a wonderful
presentation both
in content and in approach. Tom Copeland's straight forward tips,
supported
with provider interviews and pleasant narration, sends a positive
message
to all child care providers. . . . Family child care is a uniquely
individualized
business. Caring for children crosses all cultures and ethnic borders.
It was nice to see this incorporated into the video. Family child care
speaks the language of love - and now - the language of taxes and
record
keeping, as well."
Mark Riley
Director,
Southern Office, Child Welfare
League of America (CWLA) -
"The
video brought the business of running a family child care service into
the mainstream of services for children and families. This video
clearly
and simply explains the steps necessary to become what family child
care
is - a legitimate and critical service. We applaud your efforts in
continuing
to improve the lives of children by supporting those that care for
them."
Nancy Sutcliffe
Assistant
Director, Nutrition Education
& Child Care Food Program (Massachusetts) -
"WOW, it is wonderful. Every time something different was
brought
up, we kept saying, 'it's even covering this and this.' The
bottom
line - we were totally impressed. I am thankful to you for making such
a wonderful, positive, enlightening video."
Emily Couric
Former
Senator - 25th District, Virginia- "Thank
you for sending me your latest A1-KIDS-1 Newsletter and a copy of your
video, 'The Business of Family Child Care.' I thought both
were superb.
They are clearly presented, informative, and encouraging. You
are
offering a valuable service through your efforts."
