Congrats Dani!! It's good to see a thriving Daycare center. I'm a new subbie and I used to have a home based daycare center for 8yrs in the past. However, the public school system in NJ has taken away many or most of the k-3 and k-4 children. And, there's a lot of centers that have closed down and many will close soon. So it's refreshing to come across your channel💗
Thank you for subscribing! Yes, it is a shame to see some public school systems affecting smaller child care businesses, but where there's a will there's a way! Although it may be challenging, there are some parents that may prefer the quality that a private school may offer over the public school system.
Well done young woman! I think your center looks fantastic! I can only imagine you already attend state and local conferences. Great way to connect. I think it's fantastic that you consult as well. My only encouragement to you is to get out and visit other centers. Somebody is always doing someting new. But go see it! Visiting all kinds of centers will remind why you Don't do somethings and inspire you to Do others. Don't stagnate. Church. YMCA. Home based. Military. You've accomplished an amazing thing!
I am so inspired! Childcare is something that I want to do for the rest of my life. I'm currently a lead teacher at a daycare, but I'm excited about my plans that I have that will take place after receiving my bachelors next year. Keep up the awesome work!
We, a class of social assintents from Germany, saw your video and have some feedback for you. First of all, congratulations on opening your own daycare. Your day care center is very colorful. We like that it as a coffee corner and a receptionist. We like also that it has room for kids of different ages. We also like that it's flat without stairs and has a lot of space. We think, although, that it is filled with furniture so the kids cannot move around freely. Also, we would have liked to hear about the safety standards. We think it would have come off better, if the promotion of your channel and services were at the end of the video. Lastly, we didn't see an outside playground and were wondering if you have one.
Always been my dream to open my own. Now that I’m graduating next year, I’m ready to get started fulfilling my purpose. This was super encouraging , I love it
It all looks awesome! so inspiring to me. I am going through the licensing process for my home daycare right now and i am planning on opening a center in a year or two so ill be consulting with you soon.
yeah. Ive been putting in so much time money and energy into making sure i have all my ducks in a row. ive only ever worked in childcare and i am so passionate about it. I really feel like going into business for myself can really impact my life positively
Thank you for sharing and congratulations. I remember watching your videos for helping with starting a home Daycare. Truly inspired as well tonopen my child care program.
You don't need any degree to open any business. You just need to make sure that you at least hire the people with the required qualifications in order to maintain compliance with regulations.
I'd love to help you out! Be sure to head over to DaniChristine.com/Book-Dani and follow those directions. Get your questions ready! Can't wait to meet you.
I enjoyed your video.✨ am looking for insight on what it is like to being an daycare teacher so great look ! If you have any quick complimentary advice for future new teacher like myself I would love to hear.💕
Hi Dani,thank you for always educating,inspiring and advicing us.I have a day care in Africa and i kindly request you for teaching materials for kids.I will be so grateful when my humble request is put into consideration.Best regards.Suzi
Hello everyone what I want to know are there grants I can get to start a daycare I had a home one but I had to close it down 😭 so I'm looking for a building to lease from
I'd love to offer several of the tips I have and give you my undivided attention with whatever other questions you may have. You can visit danichristine.com/book-dani to schedule a consultation at your convenience!
@@DaniChristine When you go to the website to book is there a certain button and or word I click on? The menu doesn't load into a new screen and the underlined word ZOOM only takes you to their site.
If God brought you here that means you love children and you have a passion for childcare. But if you don't know exactly it may not be for you. But seek prayer and ask
I'm sure you will achieve that goal! Be sure tag me on IG when you open your doors! If you need assistance, feel free to contact me at info@DaniChristine.com
I’m 15 as well and am currently taking a childcare class where I get to experience working with children and learn how to run a childcare center. I want to open my own daycare too :)
@@liberty6140 you gals can do it! Im almost 22 and finally have taken all the college courses and im now a one year old lead teacher. It is so much fun, i love it so much. It takes a lot of work in this field more than what most people think buy dont give up! You got this ❤
I have decided to open a daycare center. I have been working a 9-5 for the past 8 years and I am thankful for it however, I have a entrepreneur spirit with business experience. I can't wait to get started. Congratulations love!!
I have a child care center and one thing the kids love is what I call “Wall Street” I have a wall with different “shops” and different toys to represent those shops. To give the kids fun and also it’s educational.
Girl, this is so amazing and inspiring! I have been working in education for 12 years, and even though I'm certified to teach in pre-k to 4th grade, I choose to stay in the daycare sector. I feel like I have more of an impact in that capacity. I also avoid the red tape that way as well. You truly are an inspiration to women. You are supporting families in ways that you still have yet to see the impact from, just wait until those first groups of kids start coming back with their own children to you someday. That's an amazing feeling and I'm blessed to start reaping those benefits now. Any advice that I could offer would be to start using the ERS scoring systems for your classrooms. As the Director it's great to relinquish that control to your classroom teacher to let them stretch their educational muscles, but it's important that they learn self-reflective practices for best developmentally appropriate experiences. It would also give you a guide to how your teachers are developing their classrooms and approaching their learning environment, and give you a way to set up their trainings and help their skill sets. Little things off the top of my head, positioning of furniture to prevent running areas, labeled shelves to ensure self-help skill-building in eaven toddlers for clean up time. Environmental print, and child process art at eye level, instead of adult eye level. You are doing amazing, and I love your passion.
Thrift stores is a great place to get daycare equipment, toys and materials. We have purchased books, toys easels, the heavy duty wooden changing table, wooden blocks etc. I also own a commercial daycare. I would add more age appropriate toys and education materials.
I’m so glad that this video was recently posted! It’s my dream to open a child care facility/art camp one day and now I want to pay a visit to your site I’m excited thank you so much!
I’m a high school student and seeing this is so cool to me! I want to own a daycare facility just like this and seeing what you’ve done is just so inspiring! Love this ❤️❤️❤️

Really nice center! I'll be graduating next year with my bachelor's degree in Early childhood Education and was wondering what certifications or degrees do you have to have to be a director. Not necessarily to be the Owner but just a director.
In New York State, Director's must have at least an associate's degree with a study plan leading to a bachelor's degree in early childhood or a related field along with two years of experience leading staff in a child care setting. Not sure about other states, but I'm sure you can find the info on Google. Congrats on your upcoming graduation!
I'm in graduate school to become a speech language pathologist and would love to start a childhood center to have preschool classrooms and provide services of speech and ABA therapy.
Congratulations my sister for starting your own business. This is an inspiration to others , especially our black youth who are having babies and need a early years education. Education is the key to activate successful lifestyle.
Wow congrats on the amazing work you’ve done and continue to do I wish this was closer to me I would bring my daughter and come work for you in a heartbeat such a BEAUTIFUL place
TFS!!!!!!! Love the tour of your daycare and congrats on the up grade. I'm looking at opening up a daycare by 2024 can you do a video on different funding or programs for equipment.💚💚💚💚
This has always been a dream of mines and I am starting to think about opening my own center more and more especially now that I am back working at a day care this video was only meant for me to see right now thanks so much !!
God bless you would you believe that my college professor had the class to do an assignment he gave us your link . At the moment I'm operation daycare business out of my home. I would love your help when i start my daycare center
Hi! Great work! Would you have information about grants and funds for purchasing materials and equipment and other start up costs to open a daycare centre in Ontario, Canada?
As a daycare/creche owner myself I am very impressed with your setup.. think I am going to learn a lot from you.. thank you for sharing. :) liked and subbed
Hello I absolutely love your center and congratulations!! I am interested in how to get grants for equipment for our Daycare. We recently moved from in home to a center we really need help. Toni E.
Hello, you mentioned something about you had a contract with universal kids. What is that? By the way I'm in the State of Florida and our laws may be different from yours. And I'm and looking to open my homeday care at the end of this year.
I'm not sure if Florida has UPK, actually I believe it might be called VPK in that state (not 100% sure about that though). If you google it, you'll have a much better understanding than what I can explain in these comments. Universal Pre-K is federally funded preschool program that is at no cost to parents.
I toured many homes while searching and made sure I was upfront and honest about my intentions. I explained to them that I had experience and would get insurance. The landlords also required that I added them as an additional insured. Not all landlords that I ran into was open to the idea, but some listened and would accept me. Just ask!
I absolutely loves your day care you've tremendously inspired me I've Evangeline daycare since 1991 I believe it's now my Susan to grow and get my Center I have been type B and I am now type A but I have been for a while. I desperately need info on findings and grants for sure this is Little Debbie's daycare LLC Toledo Ohio
How do you even set up a daycare because I watch maybe 3 families kids and they always told me I should set up a daycare like I want to but I don't know where or how
I opened my center 4 months ago and I'm completely full! I'm about to add on to my building soon. I'm so excited! New subscriber🤗
Congratulations! Reach out to me if you need any guidance during these beginning stages!
T. Edwards congratulations to you as well.
What area are you located in, did you open a center or in home, and did you have to prepare a business plan for a loan?
Ps CONGRATULATIONS!!
Congratulations 🙌

In the after school room add like a place for the older kids to play, it looks more like a room for preschool only.

Dawn Rogers Every state is different check with your state’s “Early Childhood Regulations”. You can probably find it on line.
I'm in graduate school to become a speech language pathologist and would love to start a childhood center to have preschool classrooms and provide services of speech and ABA therapy.
That’s amazing... i have a home daycare right now.. I’m just going to see where God takes it from there
That's how I started off as well. It's been a great journey!
Congratulations my sister for starting your own business. This is an inspiration to others , especially our black youth who are having babies and need a early years education. Education is the key to activate successful lifestyle.
Having your home daycare how did you do 16 kids in a apartment? Did you run it by your self? Did you have a specific age group?
It was a house, not an apartment, so there was space for them. We were licensed for ages 6 weeks-12 years old. I had 3-4 people helping.
I would love to have you as a boss 😭
Wow congrats on the amazing work you’ve done and continue to do I wish this was closer to me I would bring my daughter and come work for you in a heartbeat such a BEAUTIFUL place
I don't know...i'm just so happy watching this...i wish i could do something for children in the future❤️
