I have worked at two child care centers, and while the curriculum and rules are different, the goal of having the best quality of service for the parent is the same. Providing for parents and wanting the best for every student by having staff who wants to work and wants to do everything they can to supply the best for children is how to deliver quality care. After…

This semester my team and I had the opportunity to participate in community…

I also thought a lot of people abused the service because I had heard a…
