Need a creative name for my Childcare Business?

Question

Hey everybody- I'm a 20 year old college student/daycare worker, and I am looking to really expand my childcare business this summer. I work at a daycare full-time, but always off at 6, and never work weekends. I would like a really cute and creative name for a childcare business. It will only be children 4 years old and younger. So any good suggestions are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

First you have to check with the Secretary of State or whatever agency in you state incorporates businesses to make sure that a name is available. Most times your attorney, if you are using one, does this as well as the incorporation for you. Then pick a name that tells what you do, but isn't too "cutesy." Some of it depends on whether you are planning an in-home child care or an out of home child care center. Parents seem to want something with "Early Learning Center" or Child Care Learning Center somewhere in the name of centers because they think children learn more. It's not indicative all the time of what you actually do in your child care business, but it conveys a message that it's not "just babysitting," which none of us do, but it's still a perception many people hold. Some states limit what a n in-home child care can be called, but I would still incorporate to protect my personal assets.

Think about what is important to you and you'll find a name that differentiates you from others and yet tells what is important to you for the child care business.

Answer 2

First I would check to make sure the name hasn't already been taken and also see if you can get it as a Domain name in case you want to set up a website which seems to be a very popular thing to do.

Doodlebugs Childcare & Early Learning for many reasons. I think it's very creative and fun and more original than small wonders. I know that others have said that it seems unprofessional but look at your target audience. You are looking to attract families with young children who will be drawn to your ideas of fun. Small Wonders is a bit overdone in my opinion. I know that in the town I grew up in it was the name of the school districts preschool program and have seen it used for many home childcares. Doodlebugs is kid friendly and memorable. I have spent alot of time thinking about names for my own childcare business that I hope to start someday...currently I work at a small center as a preschool teacher. The name our director chose was Praise the Children Childcare. I like names that can be abbreviated for the purpose of labeling things that may be sent home like extra clothes in that instance that a child doesn't have any there that day. For example we write PTC on our things. With doodlebugs you could go DB or DBugs. Hope this helps. Overall whatever votes you get I hope you go with the one that will have the most longevity for you since you will be the one that has to see it all the time.

Answer 6

People already gave you lots of good names so I won't go there -

You mention getting a name, but have you also checked into what you need to do if you need a license???? It sounds like you are going beyond the babysitting stage and you really need to check this aspect out -

What if a child gets hurt?
How many children at what age groups can you have, etc?

I'm just saying make sure you do a complete information gathering phase for this next step of your business

You want to prevent a child getting hurt and you want to protect your financial well-being.

Best wishes on this new adventure!

Answer 7

Clever Daycare Names

Answer 8

I have always wanted to open my own center.

Miss ......... (your name) home learning center, child care learning center,

A B C (or A Better Choice) that was what I would have named mine.

I saw allot of people had great ideas, some are already in existence so make sure you check that out. Also, if you are a home center check you local zoning laws, home owners insurance and register with the state to get your license.

Your local department of human services will also pay you to take care of children of parents going to school or working who are low income.

Remember to do your research on getting reimbursed for things like feeding the children.

I know you were only looking for names but there are allot of things that go into owning a business.

Good Luck

Answer 9

Hmm.. I like Small Wonders better, as some poeple, (foreigners, no offense, and others not familiar with certain cute terms) may be confused by Doodlebugs, or spell it wrong, who knows. I like Small Wonders. But, they're both cute, and it's your business, so ultimately the decision is yours. By the way, it's nice to see a mom spending time at home and raising her children. It seems to get more and more scarce these days. Good Job, and God Bless, Athena =)

Answer 10

The Tot Spot, or Shining Stars, Shooting Stars Toddler's Academy, Baby University (could make cute logo for sign and T-shirts!), Kid's Care, Aunt (insert your name here)'s Munchkin School....those are probably not that great, but maybe they will lead to a brainstorming session that will get you something cute and clever!!
