An inspiring and practical guide to creating a larger vision in early child care, this popular professional development tool has been thoroughly revised and offers a concrete framework for organizing an early childhood center director's ideas and work. Updated and expanded, it reflects new requirements and initiatives for center directors and addresses topics including cultivating a vision, developing "systems thinking" for management roles, implementing principles and strategies for mentoring, building a learning community for adults and children, and bringing visions to life. The Visionary Director provides directors with information to perform their jobs with motivation and creativity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Ideas
Reviewed in the United States on 22 November 2007

I read the other reviews, and, though they range from great to bad, they are all correct, depending on what you are looking for. I was required to buy this book for a class, and was pleasantly surprised to find it quite readable. There are many ideas in it for pulling existing staff together and creating a cohesive community for your center. Other ideas include actually changing the physical environment of the center to make it more child-friendly. While being a tad politically correct, most of these ideas are well thought out.
If, however, you are looking for the nuts and bolts of running a daycare, such as budgeting, hiring staff, ordering supplies, and producing meals for the children, you will be greatly disappointed, as none of this exists. The authors even state as much in the first chapter (and often thereafter!).
So, if you are ready for an attitude or vision change at your daycare, or just want some great ideas and encouragement for the normal, everyday running of your place, this is a GREAT book. If you want to know HOW to run a daycare, this book isn't for you.
