Organizational Staffing Plan

Organizational Staffing Plan: Part 2

The purpose of this paper is to show the business expansion and sustainability for my new daycare, Starlight Daycare. Day care centers allow parents to leave their children in a secure and educational environment while at work. Before a day care center can be opened, it must be licensed and inspected to ensure a safe environment for the children who attend. Day care center licensing requirements are set at the state level and may vary slightly depending on your state.

Discussion of Three Critical Job Requirements

Licensing - A day care center must be licensed before opening. A day care center license is normally applied for by the owner and issued solely for a specific location. Most states require day care center licenses to be renewed each year the center is in operation.

Safety and Location - The location chosen for a day care center must be intact. Prior to a license being issued, a possible day care center location is inspected by the state licensing board as well as local inspectors to make sure that it meets state requirements and local fire and safety governance.

Training and Certification - States vary on the training and certification recommended to open a day care center. Some states may require first aid certification or an arranged contact at the local health department so that first aid can be easily administered if needed. Child care training courses may also be required for the owner or employees.
