You must use a minimum of two literature resources from the required readings listed below. It is also expected that students will search online for one additional reference

Each week you will be asked to develop a component to a business plan and develop it within a particular context. Some operating constraints within the particular context are:
•that your center will provide services to no infants, 12 toddlers, and 72 preschoolers
•two of the pre-schoolers are special education children with ADHD

This will have a bearing on the state licensing requirements, staffing, and budgeting. Also, you should select one state's early childhood education guidelines and regulations to work within and develop the components according to those guidelines and regulations. If desired you may select an area or region within one state for your center. Be aware of any local constraints on operating a business as well. (California is the preferred state)

Prepare two 1-page policies and manuals. Respond to the following assignment criteria.
•Prepare two policy / procedure manuals, and complete a staggered enrollment chart for the toddlers only in your center. Merge the three parts into one final document and submit the one document to Course Net. For this week prepare two brief policies and procedures manuals, one for staff and one for enrollment practices, that could be used in your child care center.

•Each should be at least 1-page long, e.g. could be a bullet list of practices and expectations.

•Complete the Staggered Enrollment Plan for the toddlers only.

•Prepare a short statement on roles and responsibilities of different staff members.
