I have been conducting training workshops and webinars for family child care providers, trainers, and tax preparers since 1982. I speak on Record Keeping/Taxes, Contracts, Marketing, Legal/Insurance, and Money Management/Retirement Planning. See a detailed description of the topics I cover for these workshops. If you are interested in scheduling a workshop or webinar in your area, contact Mandi Hardy from the National Association for Family Child Care.
Below is the schedule of my workshops and webinars. This schedule is constantly being updated. In most cases these workshops and webinars are open to anyone who wishes to attend. Click on the link to each workshop to learn more details.
