How to start a day care in louisiana?

What do I need to do in order to start my own in home day care?

  • I've graduated from college with a diploma in child care services and Im interested in starting my own in home day care. What do I need to do to get it started?

  • Answer:

    Fantastic ideas you're getting here, makes my input not half as good! Idaho here...contact your local Health Department for City Licensing to find out what is needed for your home day care. Then do what is required to obtain a license in your area. Your first obstacle will be meeting/acquiring the city licensing. Make a plan so everything falls in to place. Outside of what you have learned in your child care services classes at college, you could contact your local Head Start Program and they should be able to give you some ideas and tell you anything they have heard locally on what their families are indicating is needed in the community (this will help you personalizing your day care to community needs). Hope I was helpful you're going to love it.

Check with local Department of Human Services. You will need a copy of licensing standards to make sure that your home is safe, secure and a positive learning environment. If you will be preparing meals in your home you will need to make sure your kitchen is up to date... have very hot water for sanitation purposes...cabinets that lock for cleaning solutions... etc. They will have to come out and inspect everything and do background checks on everyone who will be working in the daycare. There is alot to it..BUT It can be very rewarding. Good luck

Well you can not copy any ideas from another day care center your ideas should be original. First you should start off by putting posters and flyer's in your neighborhood. I am not an expert on this but i think you should first get someones permission. If they agree and kids start coming, get books and movies from the library for them to watch and read. Also supply the children with a healthy snack. Remember to get permission because i do not want to get you into trouble!! Hope I helped, ~Sanah~

You need to contact the DHS (department of human serices) licensing division and get the guidelines from them for a in home daycare. Next, you need to go to the SBA (small business association) and get all federal and state requirements, comes in a free package. They can also get you in touch with a mentor or some classes to prepare you. Good Luck.
