With the rule of society changing to make way for smaller families that live away from their own families and friend’s groups or known communities like those existing in small-towns or rural settings that often have family elders or older siblings looking after the younger lot, there is a need for good childcare facilities that daycare centers springing up everywhere hope to provide. Not only do working moms and dads benefit from sending their kids to quality daycare, but even those recuperating from an illness or those attending to medical emergencies in the family also find a way to meet child-rearing challenges in a child-safe environment that the daycares of today provide.

1. Thus, with baby boomers showing the way for independent thinking and living even post-retirement and having been the kids that go out there and ‘just do it’ – there is loads of encouragement for kids to become independent of parental support at an early age; there are fewer stay at home moms and many single parents that make it necessary for more children now than ever before to be placed in daycare so they are not latch-key kids, like the ’80’s had. With so many instances of sex-offenders on the prowl for innocent kids, staying home alone is not a viable option and daycares provide qualified, trained staff focused on keeping children safe, happy and out of danger while learning new skills and activities besides seeing to their timely meals and rest, so are a good bet for many parents.

2. For those parents that cannot afford or find a suitable in-house babysitter or caregiver, daycare provides the best alternative for placing their child in safe, capable hands and a kids-friendly community where they learn to get along with other kids. Daycare options are a-plenty with variable fee-costs that make it an affordable and convenient option, not to mention safe and comfortable kids-friendly environment to learn and socialize in, for many parents; from full-daycare to part-time services to even week-end options, there are all kinds of daycares abounding! For pre-schoolers, there’s the option of after-school only daycare (3-5 hours) and for babies or toddlers, many a time one parent or the other may juggle work-load and shifts to be around so it may only be part-time daycare required, which makes it possible for parents to always follow every important milestone in the child’s life.

3. Instead of just watching TV or eating junk-food or perhaps putting themselves in danger when left alone without adult supervision at home, children are better off at daycares that provide a host of all-round child development facilities apart from full-time trained staff attending to children’s needs, right from healthcare to playtime and medical emergencies. You can choose to volunteer a few hours a week to make the transition from a home environment to a community one easier on your child or pay surprise visits to spend extra quality time with your precious one; this will allow you to know the real functioning of the daycare center and allow you to bond with your child.

The demand for Child Care Providers is on the increase. This is expected to continue. There is no better time than now for anyone with a desire to make money in this industry. There are several reasons the experts believe are responsible for this increase. To mention a few; the parents of these children had been forced to work outside the home as a result of the current economy. Most families are tending towards two income earners and as a result, they need a Child Care Provider to care for their kids. Unfortunately, the high increase in divorce rate is creating a situation whereby single parents (single mom / single dad) need a Child Care Provider while they are out at work. Some stay at home moms want their kids to attend day care for the purpose of playing, learning and socializing with other kids. They want their kids to start creating and nurturing relationships with other kids. There are many more reasons why parents need Child Care Providers like you to care for their children.

Huge Amount of Money To Be Made

There is huge amount of money in this industry to be made by children lovers. It is not uncommon that home Child Care Provider to make $40,000 or more a year from the comfort of their home. In addition to monetary gain, home Child Care Providers enjoy the rare privilege of spending more time with their kids. They watch their own children grow. They enjoy being a part of every stage of their children’s life. Everyday would be like friends coming over to play with their own kids. Yet, they make money off this everyday ‘friends come over visit’. For those without any kids of their own, what a wonderful way to have children around you to play with, care for and acquire wonderful experiences with raising great kids.

Simple Idea on How To Earn $4000 to $5600 Per Month From Your Home

To earn $3000 or more per month could be simple. Where I live in North America, the government allows a maximum of 8 children at a home day care without the need for government licenses or regulations. Check your government regulations for what applies in your locality. Day care monthly prices in my region could be as high as $500 or more per month per child depending on the age of the child. In bigger cities, I understand prices could sometimes average about $700 or more. In small/medium cities, you can easily average $4000/month (8 kids at $500 each). In bigger cities, you will expect about $5600 per month (8 kids at $700 each). If you desire to earn more money, check your government regulations on how to obtain a permit to increase the number of children in your home day care.

What Is Holding You Back?

Most moms really desire to earn good income from home. Some do wish to quit their jobs and create this kind of income as a child care provider. Some wish to start home day care just for the benefit of enjoying the opportunity of spending more time with their own children. They love to stay at home and raise great kids while earning a nice income. What is holding them back from starting are a couple of reasons. The main reason being the lack of knowledge on how to go about setting up and running their home-based day care with ease and fun.

First and Important Step To Start Earning

The information that will get you started will include how to organize your home to accommodate the children’s needs. You will need to know how to plan for the age group of children that you have passion for and would love to really care for. You will need to have fun and educational activities planned for the kids depending on how you choose to run the home care. You will need to know simple, friendly and very affordable ways to attract parents to you as their Child Care Provider. The good news is that you do not necessarily need to re-invent the wheel. Most of the information you need to setup and run a successful home based child care service are readily available.

Wishing you success, happiness, and good health! (c) 2006 Titi Oyenuga and Soji Oyenuga, Authors



Child Care for Wahm’s

Connie Kalincak asked:


Many stay at home moms think that if they start a daycare business from their home, they will earn some extra money and be able to stay at home with their kids. This type of business is very rewarding and has many perks, however, when you work for someone else taking care of kids verses having your own home daycare you will find that there are several different distinctions.

When Will You Start Seeing a Profit

Running a daycare from your own home is profitable, however, it can also take from six to eighteen months before Wahms will see sufficient income coming in.

There are several reasons for this: Each state has different childcare licensing requirements. Just to get your license to run a home daycare you may need to have your home inspected, attend special classes, and pass certification. During this time, you may want to consider unlicensed childcare for just a couple of children, so that you can start building your home business. Unlicensed childcare also has rules in each state.

Do take the appropriate steps to get licensed though, this way you can increase your credibility among the parents and it will make it easier for you to get the necessary funding for your daycare.

Start Up Costs for Your Business

You will likely have some toys and other child and baby items from your own children, there will be many other things you will need to purchase to make your home into a daycare. Some of the things you will need for the daycare children are; art supplies, tables and chairs, music CD’s, games and other activities.

The Time it Takes to Build Your List of Children

Lastly, it will take some time before you have a decent list of the children who will attend your daycare. In most towns there are several home daycares to choose from. If a parent finds one that they like, they usually stay there for the duration. It can be difficult to find new clients, especially if you do not take babies.

When you are licensed, it is definitely easier to get clients, but in the beginning you will need to do some networking with friends, parenting groups, people in your community and people at your church so that you can build a lucrative business.

Benefits of Having Your Own Home Daycare

There are a number of benefits to looking after other people’s children. Your own children are not without playmates, you will get access to some fun and stimulating programs only available to daycare business owners. For example, you can get a discount on most supplies. You could even be entitled to federal subsidies for diapers and food for your cares.

Read up on home daycares to find out if owning one is right for you. Take a visit to other home daycares; ask these moms how they are enjoyable and convenient their business is. Find out the regulations in your state concerning licensed and unlicensed daycare. You’ll know if owning a home daycare is right for you once you have done your homework.
