Instruction manual
1
Do a little research on existing child development centers. The easiest option is to come there under the guise of a young mother or father who plans to send their child to this institution. Find out what programs are used, what children are taught, how the centers themselves look and are equipped, be sure to compare prices.
2
Based on the data received, try to create your own unique selling proposition. Think about how your institution will differ from the existing ones. For example, you can make favorable conditions for your stay or use an innovative technique. Try to reflect these differences in your promotional materials so that young mothers pay attention to your competitive advantages and make a choice in your favor.
3
Find the right room. It is desirable that it is far from noisy institutions, had several separate rooms. Solve issues with fire inspections, take care of security. Make sure that the room is in good condition, that the wiring and sewage are working. All rooms should have good ventilation, adequate lighting, as well as the ability to adjust the temperature.
4
Equip your children's center. Buy furniture, make a soft coating on the floor and playing areas. Get the necessary educational and didactic materials, toys. Make sure that the rooms where the children will be located are as safe as possible: put plugs on doors and drawers, make protective nozzles at sharp corners, remove any small parts that a small child can swallow. Surveillance cameras are not superfluous: if you have any complaints from your parents, you can always view the recording.
5
Select a program for the children's center. It can be both your own developments and existing methods of early development. Make a schedule so that children do not get tired, have the opportunity to just play and chat with peers. Set specific learning goals for each age category, because most parents expect from the children's center to develop specific results (reading and writing skills, mastering a foreign language, etc.).
6
Hire experienced staff to work on your program. It is advisable to choose pleasant and disposable specialists, since the success of training in children's centers is largely determined by how much the teachers and children will like them.
