Before and After School Daycare Start Up?

I'm coming up on my return to work date after having a year off to spend with my daughter and I don't know how I'm going to leave her, so I was thinking of starting a before and after school care program. I know that legally I can have up to 5 kids plus my own for this. I was wondering what I might need to get and what to expect from anyone who runs an in home daycare. Is it worth it? Any advice?

    I would suggest in not limiting the age of children you will watch because than you wont get as much business. Write up a contract and have new daycare parents sign it keep the signed contract with you and give them an extra copy stick to it, come up with days, hours, and rates for your daycare, make sure you have toys in and outside, art supplies, books to read, and a place for younger children to nap, come up with a meal plan also if you will be providing that too. If you would like a copy of my contract email me and I will send it to you. Good luck daycare is a great business and a fun one too.
