Description
Administering and Supervising Programs for Young Children is written for current and future educators who want to become administrators for a child care program for young children ages 0-8 years of age. With an emphasis of play as a key philosophy, this text will give guidance on organizing and administering a child care program . For current administrators, this book will offer insight in how to improve their program while offering concrete ways to incorporate NAEYC's Developmentally Appropriate Practices and Professional Standards and Competencies for Early Childhood Educators. This text divides the content into two units that focus on organizing a program and administering a program. In the first unit there is a focus on what makes a quality child care program, including characteristics, licensing concerns, facilities, equipment and supplies, staffing, budgeting, and marketing. The second unit focuses on creating and integrating a philosophy for the program that serves and supports the community, the children and their families, and facility staff and administration.
  • ​Several tools are provided to help with planning, creating strong outcomes, integrating play, and reflecting on program success to help make a program meaningful and to inform future administrators.
  • Chapter content maps to the latest NAEYC and DAP standards, emphasizing practical application of concepts.
  • Case studies throughout give students a glimpse into real problems they would face as directions, with reflection sections to apply the concepts learned in these scenarios.

  • Kari Rains is a Child Development Specialist with decades of clinical work in the field of child development. She earned her undergraduate degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and her master's degree in Child Development, both from Oklahoma State University.

Since teaming up with Dr. Jane Humphries in 2013, their mission has been to assist those who work with children and adults who struggle with social/emotional regulation issues.
