Budget, Tax, and Record-Keeping Requirements for YoungStar

Budget and Record-Keeping

Early care and education programs that use effective business and professional practices are more likely to provide a high-quality learning environment, stay in business, and interact more sensitively with children and families.

Good planning for any organization, including child care, includes budgeting and record-keeping. Budgeting provides a road map for implementing program goals and objectives. Thoughtful planning, accurate recordkeeping, and continuous review is essential to effectively manage an early education program.
