Unconventional – But Full

[HomeMADE]

When our family decided that opening a home daycare was the best option for additional income/second career for me, we thought that it would take some time to get off the ground. I thought with me having 4 children of my own that people would be deterred.

Well I am happy to announce that all 4 of my openings are filled. I have 2 full time kids, 9 weeks and 3 years. And two part time (siblings) 3 and 1. While I could fill the additional 3 days with 2 more children, I think this is the perfect mix for me to get my feet wet.

I do have a very unconventional schedule, that I hope that I don't regret in a few months. However right now it is heavenly. I am so grateful. In addition to this schedule I have my 3 year old daughter everyday. We craft the 2 days a week I have all 3 of the 3 year olds and we do a small lesson.

Mon. - 5am - 3pm (9week baby)
2pm - 6pm (3 year old)
Tue. - 5am - 3pm (9week baby)
8am - 6pm (3 year old)
6:30am - 6pm (siblings 1 and 3)
Wed. - 5am - 3pm (9week baby)
8am - 6pm (3 year old)
6:30am - 6pm (siblings 1 and 3)
Thurs. - 5am - 3pm (9week baby)
2pm - 6pm (3 year old)
Friday - 5am - 3pm (9week baby)
8am - 6pm (3 year old)

I personally think that's the best way to start - to ease into things. Glad you are full.

You're working long days though, Girl!

Wonderful! I do think that's they way to get started. As time goes on, you can start taking clients who have more traditional scheduled if you want to.

that looks like a great schedule....less kids at the beginning and end of the week

It's some long hours, but doable.

I agree with pp who said you had a great smile!

That's great. 5am to 6pm is a long day, but as time goes on, you can get new clients and shorten your days if you want.
