The audience is current families and students, vendors, neighbors, staff, future students and families.

Effective communication strategies would be advertising the business during an open house to the community. For example: Happy Feet (soccer) and Muckin Music (provides effective music learning). Encourage parent involvement and inform the community about discounts to military and students. This will allow the community to get involve to meet and greet the staff and students.

I think the conversation was not professional. I would have been professional when talking to the parent. I feel like the staff should have not determined how the parent should feel. The staff should have provided empathy to the student and the parent. The staff could have provided resources to them to explain biting, also reassure the parents that the situation has been taken care of. They should leave the parent feeling comfortable that their child is safe.

In the future I see my business as to provide materials, opportunities, modeling, and mentoring young children of all ages and to develop attitudes, knowledge, and skills to be effective and positive young men and woman.

Before setting my prices in my child care center I would research other child care centers in the area and base my prices lower than what they care charging in their program.

Yes, because I would have a weekly curriculum, 3star program, and an accredited center with NAYCE. I would encourage all employees to have a CDA, CCP, or an associate  degree.

All teachers would have to have a degree or currently working on a degree.

Always room for improvement; I would provide the center with more outside resources.
