• Creating a Business Plan

Organizing your ideas, and creating a business
plan will help guide the startup process. Here
you will choose a name, mission statement,
organizational strategy, staffing, operations,
budget, and other details. You'll determine the
costs and how you intend to fund your center.
After you launch, a business plan will help you
stay on track and meet your objectives

2. Research Licensing
The first step in opening a daycare center is to
research the licensing requirements. Small
business owners will be subject to rules and
regulations imposed by your local government. To
learn about childcare provider regulations,
contact your state's Department of Children and
Family Services. Don't try to cut corners because
it will only lead to legal problems later on.

4. Write a Contract
Create a contract outlining the rules and
policies of your daycare center. A written
agreement will allow you to communicate client
expectations. Rates, payment, time off, pick-up
and drop-off times, sick policy, and the services
you provide may all be covered in your contract.
An attorney can also advise you on the contents
of the contract.

5. Invest in a Marketing Strategy
A solid marketing strategy can make or break your
ability to attract clients. Because your target
audience will be parents, concentrate your
advertising in places where parents will see it.
Distribute flyers in your community's libraries,
gyms, community centers, coffee shops, and
grocery stores.
