Mothers Day Out Program

[Liliya]

I am Licensed in-home provider,in August I will send 3 to kindergarten, will have 3 here,but before I get new clients,I thought it is time for a change.
First, I was going to close day care and get a part time job some where else. Then I was thinking to offer drop-in care. Now, I am thinking about mothers day out. Four days a week,from 9:00-1:00,
I feel like in my area it is more popular,because we have a lot of stay at home moms. I know that in my state we do not have to be Licensed for this program,but I do not know how it works if I already have a License.
May be I should tell my Program supervisor that I am taking a brake from full-time childcare?
I could not find any rules about this program for a state of TN. Please share any ideas.
Thanks.

I love the idea of Mothers Day out! If there is a market for it in your area, it sounds like fun!

I support my entire family with my day care income, so I have no choice but to work full time. But if I could do it...I would do the Mothers day Out program in a heartbeat!

If your going to do these hours, make sure to inform licensing of your hours because they can and will do your surprise inspections any time of the day.
If you are not home they will get peeved.
Sounds like a cute idea!
Have cute t-shirts made, Like "I'm loved at Miss...'s then a cute picture of a cartoon kid in the middle or a pic of a lady getting her nails done, then on the bottom put "Mommy's Day Out"
These shirts might become like a status symbol and great advertisement.
Put fliers up around the malls and parks.
