Need info on starting an in-home daycare?

Question

I live in Arkansas and I am wanting to start watching children in my home. I have 2 kids of my own...1 is in school and my youngest is 2. Does anyone know what the maximum number of kids you can keep without having to get a license? A friend of mine is wanting to do this with me...So, there would be 2 caregivers....What is the number of kids per caregiver and any other info you can offer would be great.....what type of insurance would I need, etc. Thanks!!

Answer 1

1.You need to know how long they are going to saty there for.

2. How much you will charge per day OR hour.

3. Visit an insurance office / dealer and they should tell you about child care and insurance.

4. you need to get the word out there about it

offline - create flyers and there is also word of mouth. Hand out cards to people with your day care details, location and hours etc.

online - few sites such as http://www.sellit-right.com have a Land Biz section - add it there for others to know about.

Best of all, have fun with it!
