Thinking about starting your own daycare? Now is the time to start your own daycare! The demand for child care is on the rise. Many experts expect to find more mothers, will be outside their home working, due to inflation and to the high divorce rate. And i'm sure you will agree that one pay check just doesn't go as far as it used to.
How many children can you watch? What is the best way to advertise my daycare? The best way to advertise your daycare is by word of mouth. You need to let all your freinds and neighbors know that you are now "taking on children" to watch in your home daycare. It doesn't take long for people to notice you are watching children and slowly the word will spread that you are now running a daycare. Im sure you will agree that having a freind tell you "Mary is now running a daycare you should call her"is the best way to attract more customers. But what if that isn't enough? We have a lot of useful information in our daycare guide on advertising and attracting more customers. Once you read our chapter on advertising im sure you will think to yourself, Oh! I need to do this right now! I can't believe I never though of that! What About Toys & Equipment? Check out yard sales and second hand shops If you do not have any toys or books on hand that you can use then you should "Start Now" checking out yard sales, garage sales and second hand shops or second time around stores for toys and baby equipment. Some items to watch for would be:
What About New Items?
How Much Should I Charge ? First you need to decide what ages and what hours you are going to work? Depending on the hours you decide to work and the ages you decide to watch will help you to decide what to charge. The first thing you would need to do, is to find out what others in your area are charging. Our daycare guide will help you figure out what to charge your daycare clients for daycare.
Can I Find Customers ? Once you get licensed you will need to start attracting customers! A great way to advertise your daycare is by displaying a flyer in your neighborhood, just hang up at the laundry mat, doctors office, grocery stores, libray, and at the mall. I have three cute flyers available for down load in our daycare forms, just write your phone number on the bottom of the flyer. There are three different flyers on our down load page to print out and use. If you have MS Word, Works or WordPerfect, you can just click the words on the flyers to edit them. Marketing Your Daycare Print out the brochure above and send to prospective clients. The picture above shows both the front and back side of the daycare brochure. Just print out the brochure and tri-fold it, there is a blank area on side one to put in the mailing address. This is a great way to advertise your daycare. The start your own daycare guide will help you advertise your daycare with lots of valuable information on advertising and marketing your daycare. Parent Interviews ? Over The Phone And In Person Your first encounter with a potential daycare parent will probably be over the telephone. This will be their first impression of you. Make sure you sound confident. You can print out the telephone interview log and have it next to the telephone when parents call. Just read down through the questions and write down their answers. If this goes well, you will need to set up a time to meet with the parents. Make sure you set up a convient time for both of you! What Type Of Program Do You Have?? Most parents will want to know, what will my child be doing all day? Most parents do not want their child sat in front of the television. Most parents want a fun, safe, environment but at the same time they want their child envolved in a home daycare program which teaches them and guides them through their early stages of development. Most parents want their child getting outside, having free play, plus getting ready for school. You may want to think about starting a morning program to help teach the children in your care. The start your own daycare e-book does offer information on games and activites that you can do with your daycare children. For more advanced activities please see below: Toddler or Preschool Curriculum I also offer a toddler or preschool curriculum program. Which is sold seperately.

Our starting a daycare package will point out ways to handle conflicts. When problems do arise you will be glad you have a parents handbook pointing out your procedures and policys. This will usually stop a lot of problems before they begin. Getting along with the parents can be one your biggest issues. I have learned that many problems can and will arise between the provider and the parent(s). If parents realize ahead of time what your rules and procedures are then you can stop some conflicts before they start. Once they read through your handbook they will have a greater understanding of your philosophies and what your rules are. The handbook covers other issues such as a sick child, holidays, toilet training, bounced checks, late payment, and so much more. Can I edit the parent's handbook? Yes, you can edit the parent's handbook, the contract and most of the other daycare forms. You can not edit the poster type forms, such as the center signs.

On the daycare forms down load page, you will find information for printing out the parents handbook cover and the parents handbook and putting these all together to make the handbook. Daycare Records? Keeping your records straight can be a nightmare. I have learned some simple tricks to keep our records easily organized and I will show you how to easily organize your daycare records. You need good bookkeeping forms to help you organize your daycare records. I have some really nice bookkeeping forms to keep you organized.

Lots of tips on dealing with parents, discipline, early or late arrival, plus information on how to run your program smoothly, to keeping all your records organized. Children's Files? Set Up A File Folder For Each Child You will need to organize your daycare records for each of the children. You should have a file folder for each child, and keep all their information inside each one. Our starting a daycare package will show you how to set up a file folder for each child. Just print out the file folder index and glue inside each file folder, the rest of the instructions are on the daycare forms down load page.

Our starting a daycare package will go over positive guidance Children are going to act up during the day or they wouldn't be normal. You need to make sure the children are not going to hurt themselves or someone else. But you do not want to yell or over react to the children. You need to teach them through positive reinforcement. Guide them with positive actions. Our daycare guide will go over positive discipline to help you learn how to approch the children when they are standing on chairs, throwing sand, running inside, hitting, etc.
What Are Learning Centers? Learning Centers are usually a small area of your house or a small box or shelf where you have placed certain items for a specific area of learning. Such as; placing books on a shelf, this would be your book area or book center. A center can be a large area such as your outside play area or a small area such as a dish pan set up with some art items and set up on a small table, this would be your art area or art center. Some people set up shelves and designate certain areas on the shelves for certain learning areas. You may want a math area to help teach the children how to to count, or have them learn to sort or have them learn other math activities or a pre reading area where you would place some alphabet cards or a sound box or other pre reading activities. "Quality daycare's" have learning centers or area's set up for the children. These centers don't have to be anything bigj ust a small area where you will keep some books, and another area where you will keep some blocks. If you notice most of the time that the children crawl up on the couch to look at books then place a few books in a small stand by the couch and this will become your book center. Most home daycares have a block center, art center, music center, book center, dramatic play center, and a few others which are discussed in our starting a daycare e-book. Our starting a daycare e-book will go over each center and different items you can place into each center. I also have center signs that you can print out and display to show your parents where each center is located in your home. One of the center signs is displayed above, this is the art center sign. Daily Schedule Print out and display the daily schedule. You can edit the form and change the hours and activites as needed. Our starting a daycare package will help you set up a daily schedule. You can print out the daily schedule above (I had to shrink it and its fuzzy on here), once you print out the form, normal size, it will not be fuzzy. The daily schedule will give you idea's for setting up your daily schedule. You can think about what time you will serve meals, read stories, plan art activities, go outside, put the children down for naps, etc. Our starting a daycare package will come with all the forms you will need to start and manage your business. Our starting a daycare package will keep your business running smoothly.
