Windflower Enterprises, Colorado Springs, CO
Room for Loving, Room for Learning is specific to the family child care profession from the heart of an experienced provider. It's full of time-saving, sanity-saving, innovative ideas for the new and veteran provider alike. Her definition of activity areas and practical suggestions for addressing the needs of everyone in the "child care constellation" will certainly have a positive effect on provider longevity. This is a book about "space" in its broadest definition, with a particularly sensitive and useful perspective on the provider's own family.

Hazel Osborn has combined her practical experience as a provider with her knowledge of young children and their development to help providers learn how to think about physical space. She explains how to define the needs of each child and then how to make the space work to accommodate those needs. Informative illustrations and sample floor plans show clever ways to combine compatible activities. The list of storage ideas is invaluable. Room for Loving, Room for Learning explains how to make space work for the provider's own family, the parents and children, and the provider herself.
