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."
