  • 1.  New Center Goals

    Posted 11-01-2019 09:27 AM
    Hello everyone! I have had a home day care for the last three years and will earn my Level 2 Administrator Certificate in December! My goal is to expand and open a child care center by the first quarter of 2020. Has anyone done this without buying in to an existing center? I am looking for information on financing and start up costs. Thank you in advance! I am in Illinois.

    Hello. I had a family child care for 5 years and last year I open a Center in Chula Vista California. I'd be happy to itemize what we spent to start it up.

    I am building a center from the ground up and would be happy to answer specific questions privately. Look for financing resources from the SBA. Lakeshore Learning and Community playthings are two companies that offer classroom planning and white glove services. Good Luck!
