Start A Home Daycare

Hi,

I’ve just found a great fact sheet about starting a home daycare business called “Growing Ideas: Caring For Young Children - Business Matters” produced by the University of Maine.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Caregivers or business owners?

Family childcare providers are both. Caring for and educating young children is important and rewarding work. Understanding how to operate a family childcare business helps provide the income and working environment needed for program success.
Why develop business skills?

When family childcare providers consider themselves professionals, it influences how they and others view and respect their role as educators. Being aware of and developing business skills is part of that professional role. Good business skills can save time and money, reduce stress, and support smooth functioning of a program. Creating a “business toolkit” can help.”

You can read the whole thing here: Growing Ideas: Caring For Young Children - Business Matters
