HOME DAYCARE TOUR | SMALL SPACE | DAYCARE PROVIDER

Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel! This was NOT the video I wanted to put out for my Daycare Tour, but it's the video I got. Sometimes life gets in the way and we just have to roll with it.
I hope you enjoy it all the same!
Please let me know if you are also a daycare provider. As I mentioned, it is such a lonely job and I would love to connect with some fellow providers.

I just started my own in home daycare and I’ve learned a lot of “set up” tips from this video. Thank you!

How to get a license for home care please

[@elenafaith7813]

I like your video! I have 4kids..and they dont go to daycare..but like how you did everything! You are so organized! Love it! Kiss from Croatia!

[@ameliaborba9060]

Hello, I just want to thank you for your lovely video, I'm also a child care provider and am planning on start my own home care hopefully by the beginning of next year. Yor video gave me so many great tips , especially on the arrangements and storage. So, how hard was for you to get your license,,and how expensive it is to get it? I appreciate any information. Thanks again and congratulations on your accomplishments.

[@jenniferamador552]

I loved the video saw the fold up high chairs and of course i had to have them went on amazon n got 3 !!! Excellent space saver..old ones i had were way too big !

I have a licensed home daycare in Indiana for 28 years. I am at full capacity of 10. Your daycare is set up very nicely and organized. We are no longer allowed to use gates and I had the same roll away gate as yours for my kitchen entrance and the entryway. Licensing said we can't use them because children cannot get out on their own in an emergency. However, we can use swing gates that tear up the walls! I use online communication called "Daily Connect" with my parents. It's nice to log all their activities, what they need, sign in and out etc. Once the child is signed out for the day the parents receive an email. Very low cost at $9.99 a month.

[@mommytomany5674]

Cindy Wineinger I don’t know how I would survive without my gate! It’s literally the only thing that allows me to prepare meals without 6 bodies under my feet. Bless you!!!

[@em1241]

Cindy: How does one go about getting a license? I'm really interested but don't know where to seek these information and what do do. Thanks in advance!!! Hope to hear from you. :)

[@cindywineinger3631]

@@em1241 Each state has different requirements and process. Here are two links that will give you the necessary information. I have been licensed for 18 years and in the daycare business for 28 so I'm sure requirements have changed. This will give you the most recent requirements. I'll be happy to help you anyway I can if your located in Indiana. www.in.gov/fssa/carefinder/2736.htm www.in.gov/fssa/carefinder/3062.htm

[@melindabanning7707]

Licensing seems to have nothing better to do than to keep making rules and regulations I gets kind of frustrating bless you for making do without gates. In Kansas we are not allowed to let an infant follow sleep in a baby swing or carrier anything other than their pack and play and that’s crazy enough.

[@cindywineinger3631]

@@melindabanning7707 We can not allow them to sleep anywhere else besides a pack n play too. I do have one swing gate for my kitchen. We are allowed swing gates just not pressure gates or ones that they can not open. However, they are trained not to go past the stop sign and do pretty well with that.

[@lauraloock3171]

How did you you make your emergency escape plan? Is there a templet for it somewhere?

[@jmg94619]

It looks as though you've put a lot of care, thought and effort into your program. It looks wonderful and I hope that all is going well. :)

It's my baby. I am OCD and a perfectionist (much to the dismay of my family), but it REALLY helps in this industry. Parents see it as highly professional which is essential to gaining respect and for feeling fulfilled in my job. Thanks for your sweet words and for watching!

[@cierarobel7264]

Hi there! I am researching and planning how to open up my own home daycare and literally JUST came across your videos! So awesome! I have some questions I’m writing down to post in some other videos of yours I want to watch that I hope you’ll do a Q & A post on in the future 🤗

[@marilynphan277]

The home daycare room looks really nice, the only thing I was suggest is to cover up your socket holes because you don't want the kids to stick something in there and get electric shock. I work at a elementary school and those always had to be covered up for the kids safety.

[@gloom8439]

Ilove your personality ❤. I'm a caregiver at local daycare for more than 15 years and dream to have my own daycare too.

Omg thank you so much. I'm trying to wrap my mind around all this. I want to start the process.

Thank you posting! My sister is starting a daycare in our home. It’s almost complete and nearly state licensed (by the end of the month!) we are using the space in our downstairs apartment which is not huge huge. So I’m glad to see someone who has a very well organized, minimal, clean space. I see sooo much clutter in other home daycares. This really helped give me more ideas on how to organize and store, which is what I’m working on now. Thank you.

hey I'm in NC too was it difficult to get approved for the license ?

Great video! I’m a home daycare provider with 7 full time kiddos ages 8 months through age 4. I can have up to 12 as well though in South Dakota I am not required to be licensed😳 I am still subject to being inspected and have to follow all guidelines. I have an even smaller space than you and it has been super tricky. Especially at nap time. I love being able to clean up quickly though!! Looking forward to more videos:)

[@mommytomany5674]

Oh hey. I'm from SD. From my understanding most peoviders are not liscensed. Can you explain why you still get inspected? I am interested in opening at some point in my life!

[@MegaDaprice]

Wow! I'm in NC and I have can only have 8 - 3 that are prek to 12 yrs and 5 from birth to 5 yrs. Currently I have 5. It is so strict in NC. You have sooo much stuff (that are good)....my little ones would have them off of the wall. We get inspected twice a year by State and once by City Sanitation. You transformed and share your personal space....whoa! If I was to have 6 children under 5 yrs I would be cited and need to get rid of the other one child.😯 I'm in City limits and on a 16000sqft and can only have 5 full time. The state would allow for more if the sq ft was over. Not moving anytime soon. Have had daycare for 12 yrs.

I will be a licensed daycare provider soon. But in a different country. I don't even have as much room as you have. I don't have kids on my own just yet and kinda just have a 2 room apartment (kinda new too and still working on organizing). One room will be for sleeping (including my own bed) and it will get a kitchen as well. And one room for playing and also will contain a table were we can eat and do table activities... and kinda function as my own living room as well... In my country you get only a license for a maximum of 5 kids and I plan on getting 5 daycare kids... then I'll be able to save up some money to get a bigger apartment...

I’m in Australia and we are called family day care, love your video love seeing what other providers do but it’s very different to what I have to do.

[@mommytomany5674]

Oh I would love to hear the differences! It's so interesting that a lot of us do essentially the same job, but the regulations are SO different!

[@DAYBY_DAY_]

Yes that why I love watching other day care providers. I’m only allowed 4 children under school age and 3 school aged children but I have to include my own child I have a 13yr and a 10yr so I can only have 1 school ages child. I have a lot of rules that I have to follow and we have to do monthly observations of each child per month and of course planning and programming and we have to link it all together with codes and outcomes (that’s what we call them). I have a good set up I use the whole down stairs of our home and we have just put a kitchen in so I can supply food (not a lot of providers supply food). I have a Instagram page @Family_daycare_mum if you want to have a look at food and activities I do. I don’t show and of the children’s faces or anything like that!

It's crazy how different areas have different regulations. I think our ratio in the state of Texas is too high, which is why I keep my group small.
