HI all
I would like to start a daycare, or afterschool center in my own home. I live in Brooklyn, NY and my home has an exit/enterance on both front and back of the house which goes directly to the street.
I would like to start an afterschool center, where I pick up the kids from elementary school, give a snack and complete their homework. I would drop them off or have their parents pick them up. I am also considering a daycare for infants and up. I have a 3 bed house, where 2 bedrooms are empty and I have a finished basement that is empty as well, and was hoping to use those as the kids areas.
What would be the steps to go about this, I know for daycare its a lot of paper work, but what about afterschool, I would want to target kids 4-11, does that reqire paperwork? what would be the best option for me? A family daycare or group daycare? Also what licenses and how long would it take to get them?
I am actually an accountant, I have no formal teacher/ early childhood education. When I was in highschool/college I used to work at an afterschool center, and I would like to open one of my own, and go fulltime into it.
