Starting a daycare center can be the best business decision you've ever made. All over the country, women are discovering their business apptitude and are making a great income with their daycare centers.
But how can you know if this is the business for you? You need to answer these questions:
1. Do you like children? Daycare involves working with children for hours and hours. If you don't like children a lot, you have no place in the daycare business. And don't just say that everybody likes children. Liking them and working with them are totally different things. You have to truly love children to make it in this business.
2. Do you want to start your own business? This isn't specific for the daycare business, but is still a fundamental question. If you don't want to be a financially independent business person, you shouldn't start a business at all, let alone a daycare center.
3. Are you prepared to put in some hard work? Daycare isn't the hardest of businesses to maintain, but you still need to put in some initial effort to get it off the ground. If you'd rather spend your time doing something else, I suggest you stick to your day job.
4. Are you prepared to put some money into your business? You don't need a large investment in order to start a day care. But some initial investment is still required. You need to buy toys, books, business forms, and spend a little on advertising. You can get back your money a 100 times over if you do things right, but not without that investment.
If you've answered "yes" to the four questions I wrote above, than you should seriously consider opening your own daycare center. I suggest that you start by using one of these 2 start-up guides: StartingADayCare or StartingADayCareCenter.
They can really help you get off to a good start.
