Open your own company: it is most convenient in such a business to register as an individual entrepreneur. Since your project is socially significant, you can contact the local small business support fund and the employment service, because you can count on grants and subsidies from the state. In addition, these organizations can provide you with consulting support. Depending on the type of premises and working conditions, you may need permission from the fire inspection. Contact the sanitary-epidemiological service to obtain the appropriate permission. After all, the nutrition of children, without which it is problematic to organize a full-fledged kindergarten at home, is subject to mandatory certification.

Find the right room. If you have a large apartment, and you plan to organize a kindergarten in it, then this problem is essentially resolved. However, you must ensure that the rooms for the children are specially prepared for their comfortable stay. Make a soft floor covering, remove all dangerous objects around, check the absence of sharp corners and fragile things. If you plan to do a full-time group, then you need to solve the issue of sleep and nutrition of babies. Sleep can be arranged in the same room, buying inexpensive folding furniture and bedding sets for each child. Be sure to solve the issue with a medical examination of each child. Set out in writing in detail what diseases the baby will not be allowed into your kindergarten. Find at least one assistant if more than 3 children are planned in your group. Such an employee may act as a nanny, cleaning lady or cook, and may not work full time. By the way, for an employee who is hired through an employment service, you are also entitled to a free subsidy of 12 minimum wages.

Consider an approximate menu, schedule of games and classes, sleep and walks. State all this in a separate document that will serve as a guide for parents. Buy toys, dishes, and didactic materials. Determine the monthly fee for visiting your home kindergarten based on your own expenses, taxes, and planned profits. Make a detailed contract, which lists all the terms of payment, as well as other items that determine the degree of your responsibility. Hang up ads in your area at the playgrounds. You can also find customers for kindergarten on the online forums of your city.

note

Watch your child’s safety carefully. Injuries and accidents are possible both at home and on the street. It is better to go for a walk with an assistant, so that in case of an unforeseen situation with one of the children, the others are not left unattended.

Useful advice

Make a group of children of different ages. To do this, you can use the appropriate developmental technique, for example, Maria Montessori. And for older preschoolers, choose one of the educational programs that will help prepare for school.
