How To Operate Your Home Daycare Like A Center

I have found that most family home childcare providers choose not to expand their businesses away from their home. In fact, it has been my discovery that only a small majority of Family home Child Care providers will choose to expand, because they are simply tired of their businesses being in their home and they are ready to operate a larger business.

However, most family home providers that I meet, are content with having a daycare in their home. It took me quite some time to accept the fact that many home providers may not expand their businesses and that is why I decided to write this blog post: How to Operate your home daycare like a center.

I believe that family home child care providers should operate their businesses as if it were a center. Furthermore, I believe that if you run your Home Daycare like a center, the parents will view your family home child care business as a school or a center.

When I was a home provider, my parents called my daycare a school, because when they entered my home, it looked like a center and I ran my home daycare as if it were a center.

Today I want to share with you 5 things that you can do to start operating your Family Home Child Care Business Like a Center:

1. Choose to operate an in-home preschool and not just a daycare. Check out my article: How to create a Quality in-home preschool Classroom in your home.

2. Hire trained professionals to assist you with your home daycare

3. Develop policies and put them in written form for parents to follow.

4. Require that parents pay their tuition on time and be consistent. (Try my makeover your tuition policy ecourse)

5. You must think like a Center Owner!  Discover how a center owner thinks by downloading my Directors handbook and my Art of owning a Child Care Center ebook.

Time Management Tips For Busy Child Care Business Owners

If you get  control of your time, you will get control of your life. ~ Bob Harrison

It’s time to double your power and your personal effectiveness!

If your goal is to expand your business or to simply improve the business that you currently have, mastering your time has to be apart of you going to another level.

In fact, if you do not learn to effectively manage your time, you will easily become burn out and will be not be able to effectively mange your business.

The Top “2” Time Wasters of all:

  1. Social media
  2. Reading Email

We are living in the social media and study shows that people are spending more and more time online. However, I have found that spending too much time online can take you away from what is important.

My suggestion to you is for you to plan a certain time everyday that you dedicate to marketing your business online, reading email and for learning new information.

Furthermore, I suggest that you review my  Online marketing plan e-book to find out how you can effectively market your Business Online utilizing free social media tools. Those tools will allow you to schedule your post ahead of time and spend the rest of your time running your Business!

I want to inspire you to evaluate how you spend your time; do more of what you love or High-Pay off tasks, delegate low pay- off tasks and start taking control of your time. Most of all, start getting some results!

Here are some examples of what I define as High-Pay Off and Low-Pay Off task

High Pay-Offs

  1. Marketing your Business
  2. Planning for your Business Growth
  3. Evaluating the Daily Operations of my business
  4. Delegating task that can be done by someone else
  5. Attending Training Seminars that are related to your goals for the year
  6. People Development…Training Staff/Others
  7. Short to do list
  8. Doing High Priority task first

 

Low Pay off Items & Time Wasters

  1. Spending too much time reading email
  2. Spending more than 30 minutes scrolling through social media sites
  3. Long conversations on the phone when you could be planning, reading a business book or spending time with family
  4. Long to do list (10 or more important task a day)
  5. Subscribing to blog and websites that do not provide you with information that lines up with your goals
  6. Handling unexpected situations that occur throughout your day

To Your Success,

Shiketa
