Abstract
This poster will describe three undergraduate students' journey as they learned about different aspects of administering an early childhood program. Individually, the students concentrated on the areas of financial management and enrollment. Before these students could generate their final products, budgets and enrollment packets, they engaged in "hands-on" research by surveying and interviewing relevant subjects as well as conducting on-line (literature) research, in order to answer a question like, “How much does the tuition have to be to support a model program that is self-supporting?”
