A Guide to Working from Home: Day Care Center

The home computing revolution and the advent of the Internet has made the dream of “Working from Home” a very real and lucrative possibility for millions of Americans. And this does not only apply to those who have found they can now "Telecommute" in their chosen professions. But what if you’ve looked at all of the Home-based Businesses that involve using the Internet – and you think to yourself that isn't for me. Isn’t there some simple, inexpensive home business I can start that doesn’t involve the Internet or a home computer? And the answer is Yes. Do you love kids? Do you have a natural ability to work with children, are you a former teacher? Then you can start a home based Day Care Center.

Getting Started

While on these pages we have been talking about the millions of people who are breaking away from the 9-5 to start their own business  - the fact of the matter is most of us never get the opportunity to do that. And figures show that actually in more and more households both parents are working outside of the home. That is good news, however for you if you want to start a home-based day care business. The number of working parents continues to climb, creating an increased need for quality and affordable childcare. Taking care of other people’s children  may be fun, but it is also a serious matter. You must check with your local municipality for any and all certifications, licenses, and zoning requirements for starting and operating an in home day care operation and follow them to a tee or you can be in a world of trouble should something unforeseen occur.

Start-up costs

You can actually get started with a home-based daycare business with only a few hundred dollars. There are many opportunities to get free toys and educational materials, and there are many Grant programs that are also available to help an entrepreneur start a day care center. Money spent on starting a Daycare center is also tax deductible. You should expect to pay some money for advertising and marketing, like a yellow pages ad, coupon mailer or flyers. Also you should seriously consider incorporating to limit your personal liability for accidents and injuries. And while Home Daycare is not an Internet based business, you will need a home computer for running the business, and a website will be a good idea to promote your business. Bottom line – 2500.00 – 5000.00 should be the maximum start up costs for an in home daycare business. 

This should cover the name searches, registrations, licenses, insurance, incorporation fees, and initial advertising and marketing. As in any Home Based Business – if you have left work to pursue Daycare as a full time income, and do not have access to health benefits through a spouse, you need to include the cost of health benefits in your monthly budget.

Hours and Income

A daycare business is a full time job. Your income will be based on the fees you demand per child. What you charge is determined by what the market will bare, and you need to check around on what are competitive rates in your area. Your income is also maxed out by the amount of children you can take on and attend to properly. But remember you are justified in charging what the local daycare centers and schools charge, which depending on the area you live and numbers of days a week average around 300 – 400.00 per month per child  - because you will be giving the children a curriculum and personalized, individual care they cannot receive in bigger facilities. 

Potential Problems

The greatest pitfalls with a home daycare business is tying to operate without proper licensure, certification, and liability insurance. Do not. Spend the money to be properly certified and legitimate - it will save you a whole lot of grief in the long term.

Conclusion

Home daycare is a fairly low investment and easy start-up that if you enjoy working with children can be a great path to independence, and can have the additional benefit of allowing you more time with your own kids if they are of that age, while still earning an income.
