My name is Belen Jimenez and I have a group home daycare.


I can't believe it took me 14 years to learn everything


that I have learned in this class because we learned


so many things like how to do activities with the kids and


all that but we don't learn anything about the business and


I think this class was a wonderful class


because they teach you how to do taxes,


how to do policies, how


believe that this is one of the classes that


will teach you more about the business because


daycare, it's very complex. And


I believe that this class explains you everything


that you need to know of how to run your business.
