There are a number of individuals in the child care industry that have dedicated their time and energy to give providers the resources needed to run a successful and quality program. They have used their experience and knowledge to publish a variety of resources that we often turn to. We appreciate their guidance and unselfishness.
We extend our sincere thanks to the following persons:
Tom Copeland personally, and, as Director of the Redleaf National Institute. Tom’s publications are available from Redleaf Press. We encourage all family providers to become a member of Redleaf National Institute.
Clare Cherry (1919-1990) Author of the Nursery School and Day Care Management Guide, now called the Child Care Center Management Guide. Thank you to Barbara Harkness, Kay Kuzma and Deborah Bates who are carrying on Clare’s work.
