Years ago I closed my family child care to open a center. I hated it and let my partner take over after two years. I went back to my nice, calm family child care!!!!

I think many family child care providers think about opening a center.
I know a few who have been successful at it.

It just wasn't for me at all!!! It was really stressful and hectic! That said, some people love ❤️ being a director or owner/director.

Have you worked in centers before? Did you generally like it? Would you enjoy being more in the office over working with the kids? How would you be with hiring and possible firing? Are you comfortable overseeing others? Are you comfortable juggling a lot? Etc.

Good luck in your decision!!
