Long-range fiscal planning should not be done in child care programs because it is impossible to predict what will happen in the future.

The SBA (Small Business Administration) provides start-up income for new centers.

When a center is sponsored by the United Way and serves children from low-income families, the United Way will usually pay whatever expenses the center cannot meet.

Directors should determine the priorities of a foundation before seeking funds.

A staff member who records more hours than actually worked is guilty of fraud and could be prosecuted.

Sufficient funds to provide quality child care for all children enrolled in child care programs are available from government funds, United Way, or a combination of these.

Costs for infants and toddlers are less than costs for preschoolers because they don't need as many toys.

Operating funds include start-up expenses and the funds necessary to run the center.

Tuition is the major source of income for many centers.

Foundation money is often available to proprietary centers.
