Management of Child Development Centers is the core text that students of child development center administration need to help them learn to manage effectively in the twenty-first century.  It is the only text structured around the thirteen competencies that capable, confident child development center directors must possess.  This practical text focuses on targeted problem-solving strategies, decision-making, and specific tools.  The sixth edition has been updated and expanded to emphasize strategies and solutions to the challenges facing today's child development center managers.
