Opening a Center or Family Child Care Home

For those who are interested in starting a high quality child care center or family child care home, there are  several things that need to be considered. Early childhood education is a rewarding career but it not always easy. Family Child Care Homes, Child Care Facilities, Half-Day Programs, and/or Summer Camps are all child care business possibilities. We work very closely with The Division of Child Development and Early Education (DCDEE) to ensure we are providing the most accurate and up to date information available on the start-up process of these programs. We want to be a reliable resource for you.

We also provide support, information, and consultation on your current child care center or family child care home. Contact us if you have questions regarding your current child care provider.
