Where should you start?
The hardest part of starting a daycare is figuring out how to begin the process. Right?
Maybe you have searched around already and are puzzled by the state requirements. Don’t worry. We have been there and can simplify this process for you.
Below you will find 5 easy steps to get your in-home Mississippi childcare going.
Step 1: Contact the Licensing Agency for your county (see right hand column for contact info)
Use the form provided in our “How to Start Your Daycare” program to get all the important questions answered
Step 2: Decide if you can start small and be an exempt provider
You can always apply to be a licensed provider when you have enough students to necessitate it. Remember, the process for getting students won’t happen overnight. Why increase your costs right away?
Step 3: Begin the setup process for your daycare
See our setup suggestions.
Step 4: Open your small daycare
Everyday management is explained and outlined for you in our program – accounting suggestions and fully customizable forms, contracts, and templates are included with our program.
Step 5: When you are ready, move to the licensed status
Let us know that you want to get registered or licensed and we can help you to do it quickly and affordably.
MS Family Childcare (Non-Registered)
This is the easiest level to go with.
If you have 5 or less children in care, you do not have to register with the state, have home inspections, take the orientation classes, etc.
There are benefits to registering with the state though… we will go into those in the next section. However, its great to stay small and grow as you go so there isn’t so much of a financial burden.
Max students: 5 children (possibly 6 depending on your county) or less
MS Family Childcare
This level is the same as the exempt one above. The reason I point this out, is that with the same number of children, you may choose to become voluntarily registered through Child Care Resource and Referral Centers. There are some benefits to being registered. Families do feel that there is more reliability there. The homes are inspected regularly and rules and regulations must be adhered to.
To review the Family Chilcare rules and reglations, visit the Mississippi site.

The provider shall care for no more than five children at any one time.

MS Family Childcare Center
If you want to care for 7 – 12 children, you can get your family childcare licensed with the state.
You must be over 21 in order to be the director of this type of in home daycare an meet some minimum teaching requirements. If you are concerned about meeting those, consider starting smaller and getting registered. Because it is regulated by the state, they consider your expereince to apply as teaching experience. These hours can build up and give you enough hours to be considered a director.

- Covering electrical sockets
- Making household cleansers, medicines, tools, sharp implements, weapons, and other harmful items inaccessible to children by placing them under lock and key

Recently, the editors of the Moscow-24 TV channel turned to us with a request to help in filming a report about home kindergartens in Moscow.
Together with the channel team, we went through a raid on private and home gardens in Moscow. Now we have not only extensive theoretical knowledge on this issue, but also practical experience in monitoring private and home kindergartens. We are happy to share our notes and thoughts with you. nine0011
I would like to start the article with an appeal to mothers:
Dear mothers! If you have the opportunity to raise a baby on your own up to 3 years, give him these priceless years! This will be your most valuable investment in a child, since during this period 90% of his soul, his character, his potential are laid, and only the remaining 10% – in subsequent years.
If this is not possible, then you should be very careful and serious about choosing the first kindergarten, because parting with your mother should be as safe as possible, without psychological trauma. nine0017
Next, let’s summarize the information received about the types of private kindergartens:
• Home kindergartens.
They are located, as a rule, in two and three-room apartments, usually on the basement or 1st floors of residential buildings (now this is allowed by law *).
• Private kindergartens. These are already more serious organizations. Private kindergartens are often located in standard kindergarten buildings or in other non-residential premises that comply with the norms and standards of a child care institution. They usually have their own fenced area for walking, gyms, etc. nine0013 • Commercial groups in departmental kindergartens. Such kindergartens are usually well equipped, the level of organization of work and education of children is at a fairly high level.
• Short and full stay groups located in development centers, clubs, etc.
Also, parents should choose in advance what is a priority for them in the immediate development of the child and, in accordance with this, choose a garden:
• Emphasis on health (for example, gardens working according to the system of the famous pediatrician Komarovsky, gardens with a swimming pool, etc.
. ) nine0013 • Emphasis on the natural development and disclosure of the potential of the baby (Montessori system, Waldorf pedagogy)
• Emphasis on the development of creative abilities
• Emphasis on learning foreign languages in Russian, but also in English)
• elite kindergartens, where the child will be surrounded by attention, beautiful environment; as a rule, such gardens provide a wide range of services, both health-improving and developing. At the same time, the child can be picked up and brought home, the garden’s working hours are most often expanded. nine0011
We tried to formulate 8 main criteria when choosing a kindergarten:
1. Staff and their personal, spiritual qualities
professionalism, ability to work with children. In our opinion, this is the most important point. And the mother should sensitively listen to the inner feeling – after all, these people will have to partially replace the baby’s mother. nine0013 Number of staff in the kindergarten: how many teachers are in the group, is there a nanny, a cook.
Is it possible to seek help from a psychologist, a speech therapist. Larger kindergartens have a doctor.
2. The atmosphere in the kindergarten
Parents need to determine (mainly based on the characteristics of the child) – should it be a cozy, warm, kind house or a serious and reliable large organization that has many branches, for example.
3. Kindergarten equipment and adaptability for children:
• repair, cleanliness, attractiveness of the premises,
• presence of a spacious, bright playroom,
• comfortable ventilated sleeping area,
• cleanliness and convenience of the eating area,
• number of attractive and interesting games and toys ,
• illumination of the premises,
• availability of a good walking area near the garden, preferably fenced.
4. Price
The range of prices in Moscow is from 20 to 50 thousand rubles / month (depending on the size of the institution, on the area, on the volume of services, etc.
). As a rule, all kindergartens take an entrance fee (for the development of a kindergarten) from 15 to 40 thousand, it is paid as a one-time fee. nine0011
5. Security
Availability of security and fire alarms, video surveillance systems (including the ability to monitor your baby online).
6. Nutrition
The following points are important here: quality (both taste and quality of products), the number of meals per day, the possibility of providing an individual menu if necessary (allergies, etc.)
7. Educational classes
Their volume, focus, content, level of teaching.
8. Possibility of concluding an official and full contract with a kindergarten.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
* In 2014, for the first time, the head doctor of the Russian Federation officially determined the rules for organizing a kindergarten in an apartment or in a private house.
The conditions have become much milder (the document is called “Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for preschool groups located in residential premises of the housing stock”). nine0011
We will be very happy if the article will help you in choosing the right kindergarten for your baby!
