“I was interested in opening my own business, and I love teaching children . . . so starting a Family Child Care program was the best direction for me. Being the owner and CEO of your own business allows many opportunities for you and your business to grow endlessly. My child care business is an officially licensed program, in my home, performing excellent professional work, and there are resources like Action for Children, OCCRRA and other organizations that provide us with the tools to enhance our business. I encourage others that have an interest in childcare to take advantage of this field!”
