5. Draft a business plan
Conduct an analysis of the nursery schools and early
childhood development programs currently available in
your area.
Identify geographical areas or populations in your
community that are not being served and determine if
your nursery school business can meet their needs.
Write out the amount of financing you need to
secure to open your business as well as your plans for
making the nursery school profitable.
Outline goals for your business and construct a
timeline for achieving them while also discussing your
plans for marketing, staffing and operating your
nursery school business on a daily basis.

6. Location
An ideal location for a play school would be a place in
a residential area with ample space outside filled with
greenery.
Usually play schools require a minimum area of 900 sq.
ft to no actual upper limit.
An independent house, duplex house, a full fledged
building will all prove to be a good location for setting
up a preschool.
Commercial and traffic filled areas should never be
opted for preschools.
A serene and natural environment around the school
would be a boon.

8. Seek out Financing
Check with loan officers at banks, credit
unions and other financial institutions in
your area to learn if you qualify for a loan
for your business based on your credit
score and history. Ask about loans
designed specifically for small businesses
as some banks offer these on their own
while others are available through the U.S.
Small Business Administration. Find out
what you need to do to raise your credit
score and be able to qualify for loans if
you are unable to do so now.

10. Registration
Complete the application and curriculum
requirements to register your nursery
school with the appropriate agency in your
state. Ensure that you are teaching the
core elements of a preschool program that
the state requires. Find out if your nursery
school business qualifies for funding from
the state if it accepts low-income or
underserved populations of preschoolers in
addition to children whose parents pay
privately for their education.

11. Search for a facility
 Determine how many classes you plan to have as
well as how many students you plan to enrol as
this will help you find a facility to meet your
needs.
 Ensure there are enough classrooms as well as
office space to accommodate the needs of
students, teachers and staff.
 Find a facility that offers a fenced, outdoor
play area for children to use when weather
permits or has enough room for you to create
your own outdoor space for your nursery school
business.

12. Equipment
& Supplies

13. Purchase equipment and
supplies
Obtain children's tables and chairs to
place in each classroom. Select age-
appropriate toys and activities for children
to engage in when at the nursery school.
Acquire computers and desks to use in the
office area to manage the daily operations,
finances and records of the nursery
business. Develop a budget and method for
ordering disposable supplies and items
such as paper, food and cleaning supplies.

15. Hire employees
Find lead teachers and assistant teachers for
each classroom.
Look for individuals with education in early
childhood development as well as experience
when hiring the lead teachers.
Select an administrative assistant or
bookkeeper to work in the office and assist
you in managing the day-to-day operations of
the nursery school business.

17. Advertise the business
Network with child development
professionals in your community and list
your nursery school with early childhood
education referral agencies at the state
and local level. Speak about the importance
of early childhood education to parent
groups, such as Mothers of Preschoolers
and Parents as Teachers. Sponsor early
childhood development screenings and hang
fliers in places frequented by parents with
young children in your community.

18. Some Ways To Impress
Parents
Updates about their child’s performance by writing diary
regularly and maintaining assessment cards for all the students.
Conduct events like sports day, annual day, nutrition day, arts
and crafts exhibition and other events which include parents’
participation
Celebrate special events like festivals, fancy dress where
children get ready with parental participation.
Prepare ‘take-away’ activities for kids Conduct parents’
orientation classes where parents get a know how about positive.
Conduct parent-teachers meetings at least once in a month
where student’s Progress can be reported.
Conduct regular health check-ups for students Make a child
psychologist available for thing kids need more than anything
else.

19. Mouth to mouth publicity
• Is still the first and best kind of reliable one believed
by many parents? Hence the performance of your
school throughout the year leads to creating good
impression to parents who give the best publicity to
their neighbors and friends however good the above
ways of publicity are followed, if you fail to impress
the parents of existing students, they can easily spoil
the reputation of your school.
• Parents can prove to be the best way to promote
your school. Offer some incentive like concession if
they recommend another parent to join their kid in
your school.

22. Budget
Preschool Budget Setting your budget is the most important
step in starting any business.
Your money should accommodate the following necessities.
Though this list is not complete, it gives an overall idea about
the minimum requirements.
Location and building cost (Lease / Rent). Play school set up cost
(includes indoor, outdoor and other equipment)
Curriculum. Paper Work for office purpose like, receipts, fees,
forms, report cards.
Teachers’ training and staff salaries. Marketing / Promotion
costs.
Transport facility.
Web development costs.

23. IMPORTANT THING
• Do keep a good margin between the
money you want to spend on setting up a
preschool and the money you can invest
(the former being lesser). This is
because you can never predict when
indispensable expenses turn up.

24. Transportation
Private School buses for pick-up & drop for
children.

25. Setting Up Of School Fees
• Setting your Preschool fees Your play school fee has
to be competitive.
• Conduct a small survey by visiting few schools in your
area.
• Observe the community around your school. You can
have an estimate about the affordability of parents
towards the preschool education.
• For example if you are going to set up the school in a
posh locality, you can build a high quality preschool (if
your budget permits). Parents will be willing to pay
good amount of fees for sending their kids to a
preschool maintaining good standards.
