Hello my name is Deidre and I am in the process of getting any and all information needed to open a successful daycare center. I have worked at 2 centers before, so I do have experience in that sense. I've also managed 2 different businesses within the last five years. I am now ready to open my own business. Does anyone know of any grants available to help with cost?

The grant options seem to depend a lot on where you live. I know in Ohio, there isn't much available. But from what I have read here, there is quite a bit in other places.

I'd contact Child Care Aware for any information about grants that may be available to you.
