Starting A Home Day Care Service
By Kevin Stith
Individuals need to analyze and understand some essential aspects before going ahead and starting a home-based day care service. There are some serious considerations while thinking of starting a home-based day care service for either children or elderly people.
Some basic questions that individuals need to ask themselves before offering such services is whether individuals possess talents and skills to handle such a business. It need to be evaluated whether the service is just a supplement to earn more money or if the individual is thinking about a long-term home based career. It would be important to assess whether there is sufficient space in the home to accommodate the office of the day care center. The long-term effect of expansion also needs to be evaluated in terms of space, manpower, finances, and effort involved in putting the necessary effort required for business to grow and continue once established.
Another crucial question would be to sit back and think whether the individual is emotionally and physically equipped to deal with querulous elderly people or energetic children. Individuals also require knowing beforehand that this interaction would be on a daily basis and thus would demand face-to-face communication.
Apart from that, individuals need to familiarize themselves with laws and regulations for starting a day care service and obtain the necessary license from the State. Some states may require special certification and it is essential to enquire and obtain required documents accordingly. Two most commonly required certificates by most states are CPR and First aid certifications, though some regulations may vary from one state to another.
Individuals may opt to buy or rent a house for opening a day care service. In such a case, individuals need to find out the area zoning laws and other external constraints that might come up with respect to opening a day care center. Some banks and other financial institutions may offer financial support. Most banks may offer to guide such individuals through the process. Liability insurance is mandatory apart from which fire and theft insurance can also be opted for.
