Child Care Child Care The Options Issues & Concerns For Providers From Robin McClure, Your Guide to Child Care. I have been the guide of About.com to Child Care for 5 1/2 years now--from the time my youngest was only a mere 3 years old.

Thanks for all the support, feedback, and ideas along the way. I am glad the childcare.about.com site will continue as a resource for parents and providers, and my articles will still be available to help others. Be sure to check in often. I know I will!
