Once you figure out which ages you want to care for you will need to figure out how many children you can watch.
Are you licensed or registered? You will need to check with your state licensor to see how many children you are allowed to watch, if you have your handbook from your state you can look into the handbook you received from the state when you got registered or licensed to see how many children you are allowed to watch. The amount of children you can care for usually depends on how many adults will be watching the children, the ages of the children, and how much room you have in your home or center (square footage).

Next, you will need to figure out how much to charge First, check the newspaper, check craigslist, and call the local childcare centers in your area to see how much they are charging for full time care versus part time care. Write down the prices and then check the newspapers and call anyone who is adverting and see how much they are charging and what they offer.
Infant Care is usually priced a lot higher. As infants usually require a lot more one-on-one care.
Part Time or Full Time Care? Are you going to watch children full time only, or will you accept part time care. Will you charge by the hour, by the day or by the week?
What will you be offering? Are you going to provide meals and snacks, will you be teaching their children their ABC's, will children be allowed to wach TV and if so, how much TV and which types of TV shows? Will you be offering the children daily art such as coloring, painting, gluing, etc.

Daycare Openings? To attract new customers, you need to let people know you're out there! The best way to advertise is by word of mouth.

Make some business cards or purchase some already made with your daycare name, address, and contact name and telephone number on the card. Leave the cards with anyone that has children in your area that may need daycare now or in the future. Buy some magnetic tape and stick it onto the backs of your business cards so the parents can take the cards home and put them on the refrigerator so they can find the cards at a later date if they need to contact you for daycare.
