I love this video. I failed the first time I had a home daycare for all the reasons you described. Then I got a trainer through the government called Keystone Stars. She worked with me on policy handbook, education, and room flow. I re opened and was successful. Praise the Lord!!! You are helping so many people with these videos.
Thank you so much for sharing. I guess my biggest mistake has been to try to accommodate everyone for fear of not having enough clients. My hours are too long and it makes so I don't have much time left to take care of my own family.
This video has been a blessing to me!!! I just bought a home and I am working on my in home daycare here in Wisconsin. Thank you for this video ❤ I will make sure I keep my policies clear.
Welcome sis. Subscribe and hit the bell so you can get alerts when I post. Check out all the videos I have. Over 100 with tons of information. If you’re viewing on your phone go to playlist so you can see all videos in categories. 🙏🏽
I love your video you made me think about a lot of things especially about my money very important I will be watching your video you gave a lot of good info. thank you Mrs. Karen
Have you ever had to sue anyone for not paying you? Haha girl I'm with you on getting that anointing oil and praying for him too. Love that... good knowledge throughout the whole video!!
No but when I had a center I went to file a report for theft of service with the police. It’s up the street from me. When I got there the office just said he will call and it will help. It did. However after that God told me focus on your policies and stand your ground but if someone doesn’t pay he will take care of it and for me to say a prayer of blessing for their family and over them and I have. I don’t ever have a parent not pay now because I get payment first before watching a child.
Tee Meh and @ home child care trainers I’m in the same boat I have all the training I’m getting my self prepared to take my CDA national test and looking for places because I soon move from we’re I live now
I soon move sorry bout that my hand pressed the send button by accident I wasn’t even finished speaking so sorry lol I was typing so fast I’m also thinking of taken a business class to help me learn and be successful I have so many family members that own there own business and they are not reaching there goal of success but I’m not trying to be in a same boat like them I am very educated an I been working in the childcare field for 15 years but I trying to learn the business part on keeping and maintain a good healthy family daycare
Thank you Alive Learning Academy for sharing your experiences with us. I’ve been seriously thinking about opening a small child care in my home. I use to work with children many many years ago when I was in high school when I left high school I went in a different direction and started working with seniors and individuals with disabilities as much as I like what I do now I do miss working with kiddos and my own family life has changed as I now have a young son and the hours at my current job are becoming harder to find care for my own son which is not helping our family situation. So I was taking into consideration opening a small daycare in my small home so that I could still help provide for my family and would help us as I would no longer need or struggle with finding care for my own son. I live down the street from an elementary school and could even offer after school care for those kiddos. Just curious on if you have any suggestions on a newbie thinking about going down a new career journey and what advice would you give me? I live in the state of Michigan so I know that I have to be licensed before I can open my doors. Any advice I would be totally grateful for. Thank you in advance Donna
I’m super excited for you. Yes I’m going to send you the link for a few of my videos I want you to look at and then subscribe and hit the alert button so you won’t miss anything because I post daily. I’ll post forms, activities, food menus and more.
Also, would you recommend me to read any business, tax or advice books ? As i am completely new to entrepreneurship. I don't like to say I know it all , because I dont . Lolz
What is your experience if you can not celebrate holidays in the daycare? I don't celebrate any holidays for religious reasons except passover. But I would like to have an educational program that focus on different cultures instead.Do you think parents will have a problem? thanks I love your videos.
Thank you and I’m glad this community is helping. The joy of being an owner is you can cater to whoever you want. You are not for everyone and there are families who want what you offer. Just outline it in your policy handbook and ensure your families understand what you provide. Your vibe will attract your tribe.❤️ Then just advertise every day.
What do you do if you have multiple other home daycares and babysitters in your area? How do you keep a full enrollment when there are other options close by?

It starts next week and it’s going to be a three week series because I have so much to share and it’s better as short powerful videos than long ones. Here’s the title of some. I’ll actually upload the titles for the next three weeks tonight or tomorrow. Why you need a policy handbook Adjustment period Gross misconduct Parents who won’t follow your policies Hours of operation Important information How to set tuition I want my money now Types of payments Types of discounts to offer Admissions Food program Release of children Incident and illness Medical emergencies What’s needed for evacuation Discipline and guidance Parent involvement Gang free zone and sexual predator list This is just to name a few. Every video will come with links that you can visit to help also.
No you should always do what’s best for you and follow your heart and head. Often times we know when a parent is trying to take advantage of us and this who really need the support, understanding or help.

The only conflict I have would be learning how to hire people the legal way, Could you possibly make a video about that?
I sure will. I will add that to next week’s schedule. Yah keep giving me what you guys want to see. I love it. 🌺

Welcome beautiful
What if you help them out 1 time and they are always good about paying? Do you feel we should still term ?
No you should always do what’s best for you and follow your heart and head. Often times we know when a parent is trying to take advantage of us and this who really need the support, understanding or help.
