Hello, I'm new to this forum and have been browsing some great threads! I'm hoping to do some info gathering and have a general discussion to educate myself a bit more.
A bit about me: I am graduating soon with a math phd and have extensive informal experience with children including nannying 6 kids and also teaching gifted and caring for special needs.
I'm looking to open a child care centre with 5 spots and a support staff member (likely an ece). I hope some parents can weigh in on a few things for me.
I want to offer infant care as I specialized in neonatal when I did respiratory therapy many years ago. I prefer to limit my care to infant care and believe that tending to one age group allows me to tailor my care more effectively. Is this something parents would appreciate? Or is it a pain that I wouldn't want to also take on toddlers?
What are he aspects of care that you aren't getting that you'd love to have?
What features would you think are worth paying more for?
I understand what the cornerstones of good care are and want to identify the type of care that goes above and beyond in terms of offerings (clearly communication, patience, approachability etc should all be present)
I appreciate all feedback
Thanks!!
