Tips for Starting a Daycare Business in Georgia

  • Licensing comes first. State childcare licensing takes 3-6 months in most states. Start that paperwork before you sign a lease.
  • Staff-to-child ratios are set by law and they dictate your entire cost structure. Know your state's ratios before building a financial model.
  • Location matters more than marketing. Parents pick daycares within 10 minutes of home or work. Proximity to commuter routes beats a nice website.
  • Insurance costs $3,000-$10,000/year depending on your state and capacity. Get quotes early. Some carriers won't cover home-based operations.
