Marie Masterson and Lisa Ginet understand and appreciate the unique business that is family child care. Throughout this book, there is a clear expectation that providers are committed to providing high-quality education and care to children and their families, not only by understanding how children learn and develop but by applying that knowledge to benefit each child. This is a resource that should be in every professional family child care provider’s library.
