Hello All!
Since there is an introduction section I figured why not. My name is Taylor, I'm almost 23, and I'm living in Nebraska. I stumbled across this forum on my search to find out more information on establishing a licensed in-home daycare. I'm very, very new to the idea and won't even be considering opening a daycare until 10-11 months from now (at least), I'm just trying to get a jump on things. The idea to open an in-home daycare came from my husband. We could potentially be expecting our first child (right time of the month, ovulation sypmtoms, etc, etc) and we were discussing what our plans will be income-wise when we do have a child. I grew up in an in-home daycare and have always liked the idea of staying home with my kids. I currently have two part time jobs that work very well with each other. In an ideal world I would quit both jobs and stay at home once a child is born. However...the world isn't ideal. We were trying to figure out which job I would keep due to better hours, pay, enjoyment, etc. Well this morning, my husband goes..."I have a crazy/interesting idea of what we could do once a baby is born." I indulged him. It was entirely his idea for he and I do open an in-home daycare center together. Now...let me give you more info before you go..."WHAAAAAA......T??" I have my bachelor's in social work, my husband has his bachelor's in pyschology. I have worked in daycares in the past and enjoyed it....now here's the kicker...In December, my husband will be celebrating 8 years of working in child care. He has been at the same center, full time, for the last 5. He's qualified to run the place himself...I'm just a bonus
So, we're looking into the specifics, ups, downs, insurance policies...etc, etc to see if it's feasable and what it all entails.
So....that was the longest intro EVER! Glad to be here.
