What will attract clients is for them being able to see all the prep work that you have gone to to provide a safe, nurturing, clean and stimulating environment for their child.

- do you have your infant/toddler cpr and first aid.
- do you have a posted evacuation plan and emergency numbers posted on your daycare wall?
_do you have smoke detectors, co2 detectors on every level as well as a fire extinguisher which is easily accessable?
- have you secured all storage and bookcases to the wall?
- completely babyproofed?
- provide safe and comfortable playpens/beds/mats in a secure location
- " " highchairs/booster seats in your eating area
- have a policy book and contract
- a daily schedule
- sample menus
- issue receipts
- have an example of the type of curriculum you offer
- decorate your playroom make it look cheerful and fun
- explain your knowledge of food safety and prep
- talk about the fun stuff you will do ie go to the park, walks, easter egg hunt, Christmas party etc.
