Are You Ready To Expand Your Family Home Child Care Business?

expansionI want to help you to expand without any Anxiety or Worries!!

I can remember when I was ready to expand my Child Care Business back in 2002. In fact,  After only five years of my daycare being in my home, I wanted my home back!

Furthermore, I knew that it was time to move the daycare out of my home into a commercial location and I didn’t think twice about my decision to expand, I just began to take action!

My entire home was a daycare and there was very little space for my family to live. I had officially outgrown the space I was in. Also, I knew that I needed to reach more families and I wanted to provide a high quality services to more children.

You are probably wondering what steps I took to get prepared for the expansion? Well.….I bought a Center management book, I bought a Curriculum book, I studied major Child Care Chains and I began looking for a building.

To be quite honest with you, I still was not prepared for all that came with operating a Center. In fact, When I opened my center, I was equipped to run a  quality center, however, I was not prepared in the area of Leadership and all that came with running a Child Care Center.

Too many books are written by people who have never Operated a Child Care Center and there are very important details that are not included in many Child Care Business Management books. That is why I am so excited to share my expansion story and empower you to expand with all the tools you need to Succeed.

Are you ready to expand your Child Care Business? Do you want to know what I did to get started? Are you eager to find out why leadership development is so important to your Business Success? Finally, Do you want to find out how to Effectively Manage a Child Care Center?

If so, I want to hear from you? I am planning a Teleseminar just for Family Home Child Care Providers who want to Expand their Businesses!

If you desire to expand, Please post your questions below and tell me why you want to expand. I want to help you to expand without any anxiety or worries!! Talk to you soon….

With Expansion in mind,

What Child Care Business Owners Should Know About Labor Laws

Labor_Employment_Law_2013_IMEC

Do you have employees? If so, it is vital that you visit the United States Department of Labor Website and become familiar with Labor Laws.

The mission of the US. Dept of Labor is as follows: “To foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners, job seekers, and retirees of the United States; improve working conditions; advance opportunities for profitable employment; and assure work-related benefits and rights.”

Moreover, the US. Department of Labor is a great resource for employers and provides helpful tools and resources to assure that employers comply with Labor Laws.

Something to think about….What you don’t know can hurt your business and could lead to a Labor Hearing or a Lawsuit.  

This post is not intended to frighten you, but to empower you and is not only intended for center owners. If you have employees in your home; labor laws apply to you too. Also, if you plan to open a center; you must definitely become familiar with Labor Laws!

Be sure to visit the U.S. Department of Labor website today; become familiar with all the Labor Laws that pertain to your business  and check out the resources that are available to you as an employer.

Furthermore, my intention today is to encourage you to review your current personnel/labor practices, make any necessary changes, protect your business and empower your self as an employer!
