How to start a in-home daycare

Home daycare services can be a very rewarding occupation. Aside from earning a living, I get to spend much time with my son. There are also many other benefits for me and my family, it’s like being a mother many times over, and no matter the demand from me, I will never get tired of it. Starting an in home day care taught not only me, but my family as well.

There are lots of ‘how’s’ to start an in home daycare. What I will tell you adds up on keeping my home daycare a place for children to be.

1. Separate your child’s room and the kids. My son appreciates his place in the family more because he is allowed the privacy and doesn’t have to worry about little kids’ mess.

2. Clean up the day's mess as the day progresses. Keep up with it, so the clutter won’t build up and you’ll find it easier to clean up after the kids are gone. It keeps the home daycare safe for kids to move about. Removing clutter also reduces stress on both you and the kids and leaves a lasting good impression on the parents.

3. To keep daycare supplies out of the way and ensure they are organized and ready for use, keep a drawer or cabinet handy. Designate a table for art activities, writing and reading. Choose a cabinet, closet or chest to keep your daycare toys in when the workday is finished.

4. Plan ahead. Organize activities in order to keep the kids busy. Take into consideration variety of activities.

Your priority is to give the best in childcare. In this, always try and keep your daycare a place where children are safe and happy. You’ll find out it also keeps you worry free. Keep that in mind as you start an in home daycare.
