Hello,
My name is Judy and I have decided to open Next Generation Child Childcare in my home in Spanish Springs. I would love your feedback as to whether or not you all think it's a good idea. I want to give back to my community so I thought it would be a good idea to open it to mostly parents who need assistance.
My husband and I will get computers to get them started on as well as the 200 children's books we have, I am so excited to get started.
Please give me feed back & tell me if you think this is a good area for what I want to do.
Thank You for your time,
God Bless

Welcome! I think it's a great idea! How will you do it? Through current assistance programs or grants? Regular daycare or some type of community center? Good luck and thanks for paying it forward.

My sister has a very successful one that she operates from her home with one helper and 12 kids. She has 3 that are on Government assistance Where the Government pays 80% and the parent is to pay the other 20%. My sister says its like pulling teeth trying to collect that 20%.
I would like to open my daycare with a great learning system where the parents wouldn't have to pay the 20%. Is that even possible? I want to give back but also make money too I was raised in the foster care system and know how hard it is.
I am also a first time author. My book is about my life. Child sex abuse & growing up in 13 homes in 2 years. I am a fun positive person who wants to help others. If you
are interested, my book is called SOUL SURVIVOR. You can order it at barnesandnobel.com by Judy Fenyes

Thx for that. I don't think anyone has ever made me
feel that good, even at a book signing.
I hope you get a chance to get a copy.
Tomorrow I'm going to meet with The City of Reno. I
was told that I may qualify for grants to help me with the
costs of licensing among other things since
I want to work with the state. I'm so excited.

If you REALLY want to help low income families, you don't have to charge them their 20% co-pay. Meaning, the only money you will earn is the 80% the state pays you. You will still make a decent living, while "giving back" to those in need.
From my personal experience, it IS like pulling teeth trying to collect the co-pay. It might be better to not charge them, to avoid the frustration it causes to collect it.
Last comment... If you are doing littles (under 5), I don't see a need for a computer. I bought one and a little computer station and it was destroyed very quickly. Little ones like TOYS, games, books, etc. Especially large climb on type toys (Little Tikes/Step2). They also LOVE play kitchens with pretend food and little plates, cups, pots, pans, etc. If you are doing after school care, the computer would be a great idea.
You'll do great!!!

Thank You for your positive response.
You are right, I've decided not to get computers, but go with V-Tech instead. I would like to be able to teach the older kids how to read and write while in my care. I think it's real important.
I just need to see if I qualify for grant assistance first so I can get moving forward. I am very excited about this.
Thanks again for your support.
Warm Regards,
Jude

As far as State pay, I understand why you would want to do the favor of not charging the parent the copay, but remember, this is a way that the parent learns that they also have a responsibility for the care of their child. Usually its not much and you could always put that money right back into the school for supplies.
