I was lucky enough to get a request from Gryphon House to review the book Family Child Care Basics: Advice, Activities, and Information to Create a Professional Program by Jennifer Karnopp.
This book was an easy read, giving a nice overview of what you need to get a Family Home Child Care going. I loved the ideas for setting up the home and outdoor space. Ms Karnopp did a nice job with outlining how to set up a daily schedule, implement a curriculum, and even forms you could use. She even has a nice, compact child development checklist/overview to give providers a quick review on what to expect at each stage. It was easy to read and even easier to understand and put into action immediately.
What I really enjoyed was the plentiful amount of activities she outlines. There was something for every stage and age. There was even some new ideas I hadn't heard of, so I am excited to do them with the kids.
Overall, Family Child Care Basics by Jennifer Karnopp is a great book for the new or experienced provider, giving up to date and informative information. It was an easy and enjoyable read.
