For an in home day care business plan, you may also want to set aside money for entertainment expenses so that you can take your tots on field trips. Which, of course, you know you'll have to have the proper permission slips signed before you do.

And do lots and lots of research. Read childcare books and articles about successful in home day care businesses online. Go to different day care centers in your area. Talk with the owners, the parents, and the children, if at all possible. Find out about their likes and dislikes.

Or you can purchase a business plan/kit to help you with all of the planning, forms and policies you need, and curriculum ideas.

This will help you immensely in creating a successful in home day care business. In short, find out everything you can about children and the day care business before you go through with starting your own day care business.
