What--a single man working with young children, changing diapers, cooking meals, and providing educational activities with children from 14 months-4 years old? Can a man do this with 6 children all by himself?

After many years working in a classroom with young children and studying early childhood education, I decided to venture out on my own and open my own family child care. By journaling my thoughts about children and the early childhood profession, you will get a true sense of it all. Come see, feel, smell, my experiences of humor and understanding of children. All teachers should be able to see him/her in my writing because this is what they do. Parents will get a view of what children do all day. My book is unique because men don't write about their feeling. So, come laugh, cry, and experience the joys of giving, working, and being a child at heart.
