We think Martz made a great decision to put the pros and cons of each childcare option so you can weigh what is important to your family and it’s needs. This book is packed with advice.

Our favorite part of this book are the questions laid out to each childcare  provider. For working parents, it is essential to ask key questions to ensure the safety and learning experience for your child. We also like the section about advertising for childcare and how to stay safe while getting your point across in an ad. For some parents, this is an important means to get connected with a child care provider.

There are wonderful poems and articles to put your mind at ease and further websites for more information on childcare.
