Facebook-Timeline-Banner-ver2-1

I am a big fan of the Television show, HGTV. In fact, I love to see the makeover experts help home owners remodel their homes. In fact, my dream is to help Child Care Business Owners makeover their businesses.

If you are no longer satisfied with your Business, its time for a Makeover. Moreover, if you need to get Motivated and  Inspired again, This is Your Opportunity to Makeover You (as a Business Owner) and Your Business!!

I was inspired to host my upcoming Teleseminar as I worked to makeover my very own Child Care Business. I am in the process of  eliminating materials and practices that no longer serve my business; revising/updating  new systems, working on me and embracing the newness of a Overall Business Makeover!

In 2014, I will be celebrating 15 years as a Child Care Business Owner and I am ready for a Business Makeover, what about You?

Are you tired of struggling with Enrollment Building?  Do you have a Desire to expand, yet you keep finding excuses to stay in your home? Can you use some new Business Management Skills? Have you neglected to take care of you?  Can your Business Brand use a Makeover?

If you answered “yes” to any of my questions above, you don’t want to miss my upcoming Child Care Business Owner Teleseminar.

Be sure to join the event email list for Business Makeover tips from my Guest Coach (Andrea Dickerson, Founder of I Own A Daycare Network), along with tips from my Virtual Makeover Team (Deborah Francis, Business Coach & Author of Joy of Healthy Living) and (Catrice Jackson, Best selling Author &  Boss Lady of Branding).

Assessing The Developmental Needs of The Children in Your Care

Assessing the Developmental needs of the children in your Child Care program is a great way to determine if your program is meeting the Developmental needs of the children in your care.

According to Zero-to-Three Organization, “A developmental assessment is a process designed to deepen understanding of a child’s competencies and resources, and of the care giving and learning environments most likely to help a child make fullest use of his or her developmental potential.”

At the beginning of every preschool year I require that parents send a 3-ring binder  to preschool with  their children. We call that 3-ring binder a Portfolio. A portfolio is an organized way of keeping track of a child’s developmental progress.

In each child’s portfolio, we store samples of: class work (art, handwriting,etc), classroom observations, photos and developmental assessment forms. We review the portfolio with the parents in the form of a parent-teacher conference in November of every preschool year.

If you are not already conducting developmental assessments, I want to inspire you to start now. Developmental assessments, adds a sense of  purpose to learning and play in your program.

In fact, you will find that parents will appreciate you and your staff for taking the extra time to assess their child’s developmental progress.

Do you need a sample assessment form? Here is a link to a sample developmental assessment form, click here.

Also, it is important that you plan activities that are Developmentally Appropriate for each age group. Planning Developmentally appropriate activities, helps children to progress accordingly.

Do you Need Developmentally appropriate lesson plans? If so, join the Child Care Business Owner Curriculum Club!
