Every parent who has had to do it knows, taking your baby out of the comfort of your home and leaving him or her in child care is a difficult thing to do, to say the least.
When I had to leave my little boy in the daycare on the first day, I can"t stop the jitters. However, as difficult as it is for parents to leave their children, it"s harder for kids to adjust to being away from home during the day. It"s not that kids don't benefit from childcare or that they don't have a great time there. Many people who grew up in childcare have many interesting experiences to share.
Actually, it"s just that "there is no place like home." Being at home tends to be comforting for people of all ages, not just for children. These are things that you, a will-be entrepreneur has to think over to start a home daycare.
Start a home daycare that feels like home. A home-like feel for a childcare center is a plus to minimize the stress on children. You can from your own home. Make it cheerful, and safe and nice place to stay. Try to achieve a residential look for your center.
To start, you can operate first a small baby-sitting service with 2 to 5 kids. Even if you do have a large amount of capital to start with, it is recommended that you do start small and calculated operations on your day care center first, and then build upon your progressive successes.
Like any other business, running a daycare facility entails costs, depending on the type of services provided. It can be as little as $500 for a home-based operation or more than $100,000 for a full-scale facility. Coming up with a budget is a must in order to assess what resources are available and determine the direction that the business is going to take. For those in the initial stages of putting up a daycare, a startup budget has to be drawn up.
Once you had enrollment, you can include personalized things for them-pillows with their names on it. Chairs with their initials, the works! Mount their artworks. Have their pictures in the classroom. You can have a class picture that looks more like a family picture.
Every little thing that would make them feel like they are at home lessens the uneasiness on the kids. You"ll have them smiling in no time. So, before you start a home daycare, get those thinking caps on and think creative, think home for the kids.
