"Your town" family daycare. It makes it sound official.

[My Nana]

Still thinking about a name. Thanks for all the input. The childcare center is going to be more of my daughter's than mine. She has always wanted to do this and is really excited as I am too. I am helping getting it started and we will work the first two years full-time and then go to part-time. We are going to be small family type center. We have found a really cute house that we are "flipping" into a daycare. My daughter's name is Lainy and my granddaughter calls her Lay-Lay. Picking out a name is harder than we thought Thanks again fir all the input Very much appreciated!!

(Nan, I think she was thinking about nanAshouse, not nanShouse)

You can always do lots of variations if you want a website: mynanashouse, nanashousepreschool, nanashousedaycare, nanashousechildcare, etc. And you can add dashes too: nanas-house, nanas-house-preschool, etc.

How about "Lay-Lay's house", "Aunt Lay-Lays house", or "Miss Lay Lays House" (you could also spell it Lai-Lai or Lae-Lae). If she wants to be called by her formal name try "Miss Lainy's house", "Lainy's house". That could also depend on if she wants the kids to call her Miss or Aunt/Auntie or if she wants to just go by her formal name or nick name, could also very if she only teaches preschool or only does care for babies, toddlers, pre-k aged or after schoolers. I think a business name should be personal and have meaning to that person, I think a nick name her niece's call her would be perfect. It also lowers the chances of some one else having that name.

I think when people here Nana's house they think of an older grandmother. I read one article where someone said the name of a daycare they were looking into was named something like "Sue's daycare" but felt really mislead that not a single person's there was named Sue (maybe it was named in memory of someone). So unless she is old enough to be a Nana I would stay away from it.
