Many parents face a choice: stay at home to look after their children, or go to work to earn money. If you love children, you have a large house or apartment, you know how to entertain children - you can combine business with pleasure by opening a mini home kindergarten or childcare center. And if you have children under 5 years old, then it will be interesting and useful for them to communicate with other kids.

Steps

1. 1 Search the internet for business plans for other adult and children's leisure centers. Download, print and carefully study those business plans that are close to you. Study the niche this business occupies, the resources needed, the general requirements highlighted in these plans. You will have to dig deeper to figure out the requirements for running such a business in your area. Also study how you will need to develop this business in the future.
2. 2 Write your own business plan 3-10 pages.
3. 3 Determine what licenses, permits or certifications are required to open a home kindergarten. Formally, in order to open a home kindergarten, or rather a childcare center, you only need a work permit and the conclusion of contracts with parents. Get the required documents.

It may be necessary to additionally equip the house with some additional equipment, for example, a smoke detector, fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide detectors, a children's first aid kit, and other necessary safety equipment.
5. 5 Come up with a name for the kindergarten.
6. 6 Determine the cost of your services. Check the average cost of similar services in your area. Consider whether you will be giving discounts to families with more than one child attending your kindergarten.
7. 7 Determine the opening hours of your kindergarten, rules for sick children, extra childcare after school hours.
8. 8 Collect all documents together.
   • Download or draft contracts, statements and other documents.
