You have decided to start a home business and because you love children and have a lot of patience and your home has plenty of room, you decide to start a Childcare home. The first thing you should do is contact your city to find out what your city’s regulations are regarding household issues. You have spoken with your accountant and will understand what you need to do in regards to taxes. Now you are wondering what you need to do to make your home safe for children and all the documents you will need to open a business.
Here is a list of safety suggestions:
Children’s chest of drawers trade all lower kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Keep everything clean, and medicine locked in these cabinets.
Make sure you put all the outlet covers on.
Loosen all cables around and secure. If blinding treatments or window-treatments”> make sure the ropes are cut and not rolled. Tying them high.
Either close all upper story windows, or put shutters on them to prevent small children from falling out of them.
Make sure you have a first aid kit ready. Keep a first aid chart handy inside the kit, and another in the kitchen. poison control, keep the fire and police phone number.
Get into the habit of getting down on your hands and knees and crawling around your house early every morning to make sure they aren’t small He objected that the child might suffocate.
Secure all top and bottom steps with a baby gate.
Receive infant/adult C.P.R. course and course of refreshment at suitable frequency. First aid courses are also important.
If you are a little worried with the little ones, a trip to the local library may be good. the idea of investing and reading parenting and childcare books.
Inspect your front and back to make sure there are no hazards, such as holes, uncapped pipes, sharp objects, access to high traffic areas (a secured yard would be great).
Inspect all toys to make sure the buttons are tight and there are no sharp or broken surfaces. Clean and disinfect all cleanable surfaces. Toys should be cleaned and disassembled daily.
Now that you have a good handle on how to make your home safe, you can turn your attention to the necessary paperwork. This is what I was in my nursing home.
