The document provides guidance on starting a home daycare, emphasizing the importance of advertising, including word of mouth and physical signage. It suggests installing a sign with essential information about your program, while also considering a budget-friendly design for a home salon if needed. Overall, it encourages effective promotion strategies to attract clients to the daycare.

1. Home
You've taken the required classes, your
home has been inspected and you
purchased curriculum materials and plenty of
books. Now all you need are kids to fill your
home daycare.

2. Home Smart Home
 Now all you need are kids to fill your home daycare.
Fortunately, you can advertise your business in
several ways -- and many of them are free.
 Don't forget the good-old-fashion way of advertising:
word of mouth. So start telling everyone you know,
including on social media sites, and ask them to
pass the word around about your daycare program.
 At the same time, implement several other
advertising campaigns. For more information visit to

3. The Home stop
 Install a sign in your yard, or put a vinyl banner on
your porch. People who live near you or drive by are
potential clients.
 Put your website address on the sign or phone
number so people can find out more information
without having to knock on your door. Use dark
colors and large print so people in cars can read the
sign without stopping.
 Include information about your program,
experience, home, hours, family and rates. For

4. Repair-Home
 Keeping your business plans in mind, you can
design a home salon to meet your needs, your
clients' tastes and your budget. Designing the space
is one of the first steps you will have to take to
create an appealing and useful work space.
 Sticking to a budget is as important as a good
design, and you'll want to avoid overinvesting in a
home salon if you do not have an established base
of regular clients yet. One option is to convert your
garage into a work area with insulated walls,
power and water.
