Home Daycare Business Owner Recommends Resources For Daycare Startups
Guest Post

Reader Question:
Do you have a book, dvd, or cd with any tips on how to successfully run an in home daycare?
I want to start a home daycare too. I have worked in daycare centers off and on throughout my life. I started working at a daycare when I was 14. I also have two kids of my own. I don’t really have a problem with watching kids except for the discipline area and with managing the daily tasks of having an in home business.
Debbie Yost Answers:
RedLeaf Press is the organization many of my fellow daycare providers use. They have catalogs for all areas of running a home daycare including working with parents, keeping tax records, and setting policies. There are sample contracts and policy handbooks. There is a fee to receive these services.
Because of the extensive work I had done prior to opening my daycare and my knowledge of the law I did not feel I needed their services. However, I do recommend it for anyone looking to open a daycare. Not only will their products make running your daycare easier, it can help you avoid and legal and tax problems.
- Can anyone else weigh in with other suggestions for in home daycare resources?
