CTAEYC welcomed the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership to CT to train a group of ECE professionals on the Business Administration Scale (BAS).
Family childcare providers who utilize effective business and professional practices are more likely to provide a high-quality learning environment and interact more sensitively with children. Using the BAS, providers can easily set goals to incrementally improve business practices that will result in improved recordkeeping, marketing, and communication with families, as well as financial stability and reduced risk of operating a home business.
