Women who want to stay home with their children while working from home often find themselves asking the question: Should I start a daycare in my home? I am happy to announce that they can now ask themselves a slightly different question: Should I start a daycare or should I start a preschool?

This isn’t intended to be a debate email, just one to inform you of the differences of starting a daycare vs. starting a preschool. I hope you find it helpful! I would love to read your comments below!

Please take note that while I personally chose to start a preschool, other women choose to start a daycare because they love babies. So there’s positives in both situations!

The major differences between starting a daycare and a starting a preschool are:

* THE CHILDREN’S AGES:

* Daycares take care of children ages 0-5 full-time or part-time and then usually offer some sort of after-school or before-school care for older children as well. – vs. -
* Preschools only teach children ages 3-5.

* THE HOURS OF OPERATION:

* Daycares usually stay open 12 hours a day: 6am-6pm. – vs. -
* Preschool teachers make their own schedule and only teach for 2-3 hours at a time. They can teach only 5 hours a week, or as much as 5 hours a day, depending on how much they want to earn.

* THE CONTRACTS:

* Daycares usually have weekly contracts which allow for a high turnover rate, which could cause a daycare to have to pay a lot of money in advertising to keep the daycare full. – vs. -
* Preschools require a 9- or 12-month contract just like a school, so the turnover rate is almost obselete because preschools are in such high demand and parents know they are committing to a lengthy period of time.

* THE DAYS OFF:

* Daycare providers don’t get vacation days except for the actual holiday days. – vs. -
* Preschools run on the school district’s schedule, so that if elementary children get 2 weeks vacation for Christmas, so do preschool teachers. They get paid vacation during the school year, plus 3 months non-paid vacation during the summer.

* THE COSTS TO START:

* Starting a daycare can cost anywhere from $1K-$3K to start up, depending on your home or center, and also depending on how much you already own. Think about cots/cribs/high chairs/playpens/baby swings/etc. – vs. -
* Starting a preschool does not require as much furniture. In most cases, you only need a table and chairs, and lots of floor space, bringing the cost of starting a pre-school down to about $200. Teachers can use their own kitchen table, as well as their own living room floor to accommodate all the activities.
