Most child care providers start in-home daycares because they love caring for children. They find joy in the simple things, from babies’ first milestones to preschoolers mastering their ABCs. What they often don’t love are the mundane tasks that come with running a child care business. Nights and weekends can quickly become overloaded with budgeting, tax preparation, new family contracts, and parent communication. Providers may even find themselves stressed about these tasks during their workday — a time when they wish they could focus solely on caring for kids.
One way to spend more time focusing on child care and less on business tasks is to utilize support software. Wonderschool’s platform, for example, offers a variety of services from website building to parent communication.
