Roadmap
Daycare Owners
Starting a daycare isn’t one decision — it’s licensing, zoning, staffing, insurance, curriculum, food, transportation, and enrollment, all in a specific order. Miss a step and an inspection or an application stalls for weeks. This checklist puts the whole path in front of you, phase by phase, so you always know what’s done and what’s next.
The 12 phases of opening a licensed daycare

A working document, not a PDF you read once
Every phase is broken into the tasks, documents, and approvals it actually takes — so you can check them off, hand them to a partner, and see exactly where you stand on any given week.
The “CEO Start-Up Check” worksheet
A short owner’s self-assessment to run before you spend a dollar — so you start this as the CEO of a business, not just a caregiver with a lease.
