Administering and Supervising Programs for Young Children is written for current and future educators who want to become administrators for a child care program for young children ages 0-8 years of age. With an emphasis of play as a key philosophy, this text will give guidance on organizing and administering a child care program . For current administrators, this book will offer insight in how to improve their program while offering concrete ways to incorporate NAEYC’s Developmentally Appropriate Practices and Professional Standards and Competencies for Early Childhood Educators. This text divides the content into two units that focus on organizing a program and administering a program. In the first unit there is a focus on what makes a quality child care program, including characteristics, licensing concerns, facilities, equipment and supplies, staffing, budgeting, and marketing. The second unit focuses on creating and integrating a philosophy for the program that serves and supports the community, the children and their families, and facility staff and administration.
- ?Several tools are provided to help with planning, creating strong outcomes, integrating play, and reflecting on program success to help make a program meaningful and to inform future administrators.
- Chapter content maps to the latest NAEYC and DAP standards, emphasizing practical application of concepts.
- Case studies throughout give students a glimpse into real problems they would face as directions, with reflection sections to apply the concepts learned in these scenarios.

- Kari Rains is a Child Development Specialist with decades of clinical work in the field of child development. She earned her undergraduate degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and her master’s degree in Child Development, both from Oklahoma State University. Working as a clinician for the early intervention program provided in the state of Oklahoma, Kari gained insight and experience working with families in their homes of children born with disabilities or children living with a developmental delay. In this work, Kari has continually striven to find practical solutions for families and early childhood teachers and directors who have few resources within the rural areas of Oklahoma. This includes providing practical solutions to those living and working with children struggling with social and emotional regulation issues. She currently provides early childhood education consultation and in-service training for programs across the state of Oklahoma. Kari is also a mother of a child who was diagnosed ADHD/Sensory Processing, which has allowed her to see first-hand the realities of being a parent and an early childhood professional. She has served as an adjunct instructor and published two books and numerous research articles in the field of child development. Since teaming up with Dr. Jane Humphries in 2013, their mission has been to assist those who work with children and adults who struggle with social/emotional regulation issues.
