Regardless of your early childhood philosophy, you must invest (wisely) in your program, just as any other business owner would do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have I shared with you that I am a cheap skate? Much of the supplies I purchased  for my family child care were from garage sales and second hand stores. I would squeal at the site of a vintage cash register or little people sets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I did purchase something at full price, I made sure to explore every angle of how it would benefit the kids in my program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
