Advice? Daycare in my home?
| Mon, 03-22-2004 - 5:31am |
18 months ago I gave up a high powered, big $$$ career to stay home with my kids ...now 6, 4 1/2 and 3. I've never been happier! Unfortunately the writing is on the wall that we are not making ends meet financially and I have to do something to earn some income. Rather than go back to the high stress of my old career, I am considering starting an afterschool daycare at my house and targeting the 1/2 day kindergarten crowd (before school care (7:30-8:30) and afterschool care (11-6). I will have to provide transportation because we have no buses and can accomodate up to three more kids in my van.
For those of you who already do this, could you share your thoughts on things I should think about before I launch my new business? I would appreciate any advice from how do you structure your day to what types of issues you worry about with the kids and parents.
Thanks much in advance ...

It should be very specific and you should keep them in your files. I would urge the parents to have a photocopy for their records as well.
Just some ideas

Home Daycare is a very good way to make extra money if you take precautions.

It would probably be worth it to get certified by the state and such.
Good luck!
