Welcome to the forum Nathaniel. Daycare.com has been around for a long time so we are not cookie-cutter or WordPress themed, which I think is ok. The forum has been stuffed with great information for over 10 years and we are fortunate to still have the database running with this older looking program. So, forget the look and dig into the wealth of information.
I see that your sister helped you to decide on the direction you want in life. That is great. We use TAGs here on the threads so I suggest you take advantage of it:
