Day Care Center Bloomfield NJPosted by Lazar M. on October 5th, 2016 Opening a Daycare Center Business Opening a daycare center is a serious undertaking. There are a lot of things that you need to consider and do if you want your daycare business to run smoothly and become profitable. Initially, you should find out how much demand there is for day care centers in the area where you want to start the business. After satisfying yourself that you'll have enough customers you then need to consider the following issues: 1. Opening a daycare center - Registration and Regulation Find out from your local agency or licensing office what you need to do to get a licence. You'll need to do this before you can start operating. If you're unsure who to contact, you can call the National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care and Early Education on 1-800-598-KIDS (5437). They have contact information for every state in the USA. Some daycare business are not required to be licensed but there are more advantages to being licensed and you'll find that parents take licensed care providers more seriously. 2. Opening a daycare center - Start-up costs and financing Some of the things you need to consider: - Set up costs - How much is it going to cost to get started? Are you prepared to operate without making a profit for a few months? What is your budget? - Are you eligible for a loan or daycare grant? Most for-profit day care businesses are only eligible to apply for a limited number of grants. Non-profit day care providers have access to more funding and grants. You'll need to research what is available to you. - Do you want to run your business from home or do you prefer to lease, rent, buy or build new facilities. - Are you planning to hire staff or do you intend to do everything yourself?
