The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* Start & Run a Home Daycare by Catherine M. Pruissen
* Starting a Child Care Center: The Indispensable Guidebook for Starting a Day Care or Child Care Business by Millicent Gray Lownes-Jackson,
* Opening & Operating A Successful Child Care Center by Dorothy June Sciarra
* The Business of Child Care: Management and Financial Strategies by Gail H Jack
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Well you need to have some type of advertising. It may cost you but try putting an ad in the paper, getting an ad in the telephone book, listing online in free search engines. Yahoo local is a good way to list it . and try getting a web page free through yahoo as well so that you can link it. WORD OF MOUTH IS THE CHEAPEST and the best way to get clients. I hope I helped.GOOD LUCK !!!

you are also going to need child/infant cpr and 1st aid training. check with your local red cross chapter for dates and times and cost.
call and/or visit some other private daycares in your area to get an idea of what having one will be like and some advice from those who have been there.
