A day care business can be financially and emotionally rewarding. However, profitable day care businesses don’t just happen. They require a commitment in terms of planning and hard work as well as a monetary investment. With these things in place, the launch of your day care center could be the start of a successful business.  Here are some tips for you…
•  First thing first, contact your local licensing agency and request for a child care regulation and registration. This will not only make you an informed provider, but it will show the licensing specialists and prospective parents that you care about the law, and this good for business. In the FCT, the Department of Gender/Child Welfare of the Social Development Secretariat is in charge.
•   Next, think about the age group you want to host, how many children can you comfortably accommodate and the hours of time to run your daycare service. The comfort, care and convenience of the children are paramount in childcare business.
•   Now, consider your qualifications and creativity to handle more children at the same time.
•  You will need money to pay for licensing, a suitable facility, child-sized furniture, toys and other equipment.  Money to handle health, payment and accident records on the premises, Safety supplies, fire extinguishers, electrical socket covers and locked medicine cabinets to keep the children safe.
•   In addition, you will have to create clear policies so parents and employees know what you expect of them and what they can expect of you.
 Most day care providers find the job personally rewarding, but many admit that they are rarely viewed as true professionals. Think about your own needs, and if you’re a person who requires professional validation. On the other hand, you might be someone who finds a child’s hug to be priceless. It’s a personal decision and there’s no right or wrong .
