~~a safe and clean environment for them to play in, adiquate napping places, a budget, plans on what the parents are required to supply and what you will supply, and depending on how many children, and what ages you plan on taking in, you may need an assistant or more. an emergency supply of diapers for those parents who forget to bring enough for their babies... a variety supply of extra clothes for emergency situations, depending on the age of the children, an activity plan, suitable and age appropriate music, videos, books and toys that can be easily cleaned, (especially when it is cold and flu season) if you are going to have outdoor activities it would be a good idea to have a fenced in yard, a written contract between you and the parents stating what you will supply and what they will supply, including your rates in the contract, and also including charges if you have to supply the emergency diapers (to cover your costs)... plan nutritious snacks, take it easy on the sugar content and salt content. -- another form you might consider is a medical concent form with the child's dr's name and phone number on it, with permission in an emergency situation to have the child transported to the nearest hospital, and also a list of each child's medical needs, meds, allergies, etc...~~

You need to have a daycare license, also enough SPACE wherever it is that you want to open this place. because an inspector may come to see that it is a safe and roomy place for kids to be. That means spacious play area and napping area. Every state is different but depending on the ammount of kids you plan on watching will depend on if you beed a staff or not. I know some places its 3 or 4 children to every one adult. That is the legal stuff. After that you need lots of fun things IN BULK to keep the kids not just occupied but educated as well. I wish you all the luck in the world on this endeavor!

You should check with the city's and state's/province's bylaws on running a daycare in the home. Everything you need to know would be found in these regulations.

I would contact your local health and human services they usually have a checklist for what they check to license daycare.

get some sort of certificate or license that allows you to have a day care, you need to know how to entertain kids and care for them...you gotta be patient, and you gotta teach them to be good and all that good stuff...and you have to feed them good food...and treat them like you would treat your own kids...
