            For all my toys, furniture, storage, etc. I almost exclusively use craigslist.

            For art supplies and such I either check CL or discount school supplies (with a coupon code) or sales at Target/Walmart or Dollar Tree.

                Craigslist. Do a search for daycares that are closing down and ask the seller if they will give you a bigger discount for purchasing multiple items.

                  I was able to score some stuff on craigslist.

                  I also mainly used Lakeshore and Discount School Supply. Most of my furniture I bought at Ikea, which was very affordable.

                  For toys, I actually found a lot of educational toys at Toys R Us for very reasonable prices.

                  Little Tikes was also great. Good deals, but wait for free shipping or shipping can be very expensive.

                  Good luck! I opened last August and love what I do.
