Ashley I have missed your uploads. I am almost to the point where I can start my program. My husband is just putting on the finishing remodelling touches to our basement where my dayhome will be and I am am almost finished gathering the big stuff like furniture. The next step will be getting toys/craft and other supplies. I always get so much advice from postings. Than you so much.💜🎉☀️
The fact that I was literally writing down ideas for my home based child care and you just posted this is confirmation! I’ve learned so much from you ! Thank you 🙏🏽
I watched you a year ago before opening my daycare and have been running mine for a year now and love it!! Thanks for the tour and also all the ideas I get from your videos! How many children do you take care of?
Yay! Love watching you! Congrats! 🎉✨💕🥳 You really make this whole day care thing look so easy and fun. You were made for it! I opened for one week and was like hold up! Hold up! Let me reassess this! 🤣 Closed shop and about to binge watch you again to see how you do it all and perhaps try again! LoL
Omggggg !!!! Girl I wanted to close shop my first week too ! It’s always hard when starting something new . Take it easy and start little by little . If there’s anything you’d like help with , please message me via email . Thanks for watching .
I LOVE how simple and clean this space is. Others are so busy and papers hanging everywhere. Question do you prefer the foldable high chairs or IKEA? Im just starting out and have a much smaller space.
Which foldable chairs are you thinking to buy? I love the ikea ones because they are easy to clean . You can wipes every inch of the chair because there is no cloth . I also buy the straps every so often and change them out. They will take up more space and don’t fold so it’s a con , however you can stack them if you’d like . Just keep in mind it’s a hassle to stack them each day to just have to pull them out again in the morning . It’s a lot to consider so I hope I helped .
Wow I’ve been watching you for 3 years now. I love the newest space ! You have motivated me to get back into teaching and starting to study to become a daycare provider.
I appreciate your support for the last 3 years ! This is my favorite space out of the ones I’ve had in the past. I hope you open up your program soon ! Thanks for watching.
What a joy to see you more often here! your content inspires us too much!!! and hopefully you will continue with your makeup videos too, it would also be a great combination, work and beauty!!! 🙊🌸🌸🌸🌸and congratulations on your renovated space I loved it 👏🏼💕💕💕💕
This is awesome! Where did you get your cabinet/drawer stand from? Where you store the monthly binders. I’ve been watching you for years. You helped me to be organized with my business. Congratulations on your new space, it’s beautiful!
I love it🤍 you seriously inspire me to stay home with my baby and do do home daycare. I’m currently a prek teacher and I love love love it, I just don’t want to put my baby in daycare:( so I have definitely been looking into this. That away I can stay home with my baby and still teach because I love it! How many kids do you keep in your home?
I have that toilet seat and you are correct….the hole is too small! Even for a very tiny child. I gave it a week, after two days of pee everywhere I said nope! Maybe it will work for you, but I did not have good luck with it. I just use the regular toilet seat and have no problems.
I am concerned about the sharp, unprotected corners of the glass table on which the laptop is lying... and I am also afraid that the entrance to the stairs is not covered by anything - it is dangerous .. but the space is really big, the room is bright, spacious and it's very cool
For gross motor , I do things like the activity cubes , lots of gross motor songs ( the channel super simple songs on UA-cam has SO many good ones ) , I also have stairs in my home and I have used them a ton with different activities , we play ball indoor and outdoor , balloon games indoor and outdoor , there are so many gross motor things that we do .
The kids do have access to the backyard . I don’t have any swing sets or anything big , so we have balls , chalk , and outdoor toys for the kids to play outside .
Do you have to secure big furniture to the wall. We have to over a certain.height. do you have a specified nappy change area with nappy change policy up .
Hi, Love the tour and love all your videos as well. I am planning to move to Florida and will have to start all over with the daycare process. Do you have a video about how to open a daycare in Florida? Or can you make one? I am also planning to buy a house when I move, you mention you live in a 2 story house which that's exactly how I would like my house to be to be able to have my personal things in 1 floor and daycare at another floor. Do you have a different entrance for parents then your personal entrance or are they the same? Thank you so much.
That’s exciting !!!! I don’t have a video currently , but I’m planning on filming one . What county will you be moving to ? I love the separation you get with 2 floors ! It’s perfect ! Aim for this !
Thank you for responding. I think around Longwood since my sister lives there.thank you! That's exacly what I would like. I can't wait for that video need to learn the rules since I live in New York right now. Also the prices since I know in New York daycare charges more.Thank you again💞
I am renting. And no cons for me this far . Just make sure your landlord is okay with your home daycare and that you have insurance and it should be okay.
The bathroom is not in my house . It’s fairly near the entrance . I do allow my parents to come in if they’d like . They do have to remove their shoes to enter .
What ages do you have in your daycare center? This is something I see myself doing but contemplating on operating at home or in a building where I could hire more staff. Do you have assistants working with you?
@@totstothetop Thank you so much for replying to my question! My other question is how long did it take for you to be able to be an at home provider? Currently I am getting my degree and I have two semesters left, but would like to do additional classes with DCF to get to this position.
I do not. I just talk with the parents at pickup and give them a quick run down of their child's day . When I was using an app, I would take my time to fill it in everyday and parents would ask me questions at pick up and simply say 'I haven't checked the app' so I stopped. It would take time from my day to fill it out so I just stopped it overall. I think this would be great for bigger centers that can't talk to each parent every day for times at a time . Hope this helps.
Could you please day a day with your care children please snack.play time ect can't show faces what you day with them Your so lucky to have a separate part of your home for your daycare zi don't have that

Yes I’m working on a video like that . Do you have specific questions so that I can make sure I touch on them ?
I have that toilet seat and you are correct….the hole is too small! Even for a very tiny child. I gave it a week, after two days of pee everywhere I said nope! Maybe it will work for you, but I did not have good luck with it. I just use the regular toilet seat and have no problems.

Congratulations 🎉 🎊 Love your new space. Its beautiful
Thank you so much 😀. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
Lol I'm glad you pointed out that slight emptiness because for a minute I thought you were going minimalistic with the daycare lol
Where did you get the small mini tables to do artwork on the floor?
Do you have a backyard in your new house? What do you do for gross motor activities?
The small mini table are from Michaels . I have them linked in the description box .
I do have a backyard . I’m getting some last minute things and I should film a video soon
For gross motor , I do things like the activity cubes , lots of gross motor songs ( the channel super simple songs on UA-cam has SO many good ones ) , I also have stairs in my home and I have used them a ton with different activities , we play ball indoor and outdoor , balloon games indoor and outdoor , there are so many gross motor things that we do .
Your home daycare is very well done
Thank you so much ! Thanks for watching .

Hi what about like the backyard? Do they have access to the backyard? I’m just curious haha
The kids do have access to the backyard . I don’t have any swing sets or anything big , so we have balls , chalk , and outdoor toys for the kids to play outside .
Thinking about ketting my 9 to 5 go ...but im nervous about health insurance...im getting older and am gonna need solid health insurance
I love your space, my kitchen is separated from my living room ☹️
Is it really far ? Whenever I go to purchase a home , I will always aim to have the kitchen opened into the daycare . It’s such a big help !
friendd~ Thanks, insane vlog,)
Thanks for visiting.

Is that your house or are you renting? Is there any cons on doing your daycare on a rental?
I am renting. And no cons for me this far . Just make sure your landlord is okay with your home daycare and that you have insurance and it should be okay.
I love those sleeping cots where did you buy them
You let your parents go inside your home and bathroom? I still keep my drop-offs and pickup at the door!
The bathroom is not in my house . It’s fairly near the entrance . I do allow my parents to come in if they’d like . They do have to remove their shoes to enter .
99.9% of the time the parents drop and go . They do have the option to enter but they chose not to .
Where’s the little had vacuum from? Loved the video!
It’s from Amazon . Thanks for watching .
Hey love where did you get that white unit from , the one with the tv . I love it to have everything organized 😍
IKEA 🙂
@@totstothetop really i did go last week for the high chairs thank you. I might get something small for the blankets.
How many children do you typically watch at one time?
6
What ages do you have in your daycare center? This is something I see myself doing but contemplating on operating at home or in a building where I could hire more staff. Do you have assistants working with you?
I can care for ages 6 weeks - 5 years old . I prefer ages 1.5 and up. I don’t have an assistant currently .
@@totstothetop Thank you so much for replying to my question! My other question is how long did it take for you to be able to be an at home provider? Currently I am getting my degree and I have two semesters left, but would like to do additional classes with DCF to get to this position.
Lol i clicked on ur video because of the simplicity and emptyness u mentioned lol
Lol I love open spaces !
Did you chuild proof all of your home
What app do you feel works the best to log everything for food diapering?
I personally have only ever used brightwheel , but I no longer use that.
@@totstothetop OK do you use any app right now?
I do not. I just talk with the parents at pickup and give them a quick run down of their child's day . When I was using an app, I would take my time to fill it in everyday and parents would ask me questions at pick up and simply say 'I haven't checked the app' so I stopped. It would take time from my day to fill it out so I just stopped it overall. I think this would be great for bigger centers that can't talk to each parent every day for times at a time . Hope this helps.
@@totstothetop okay thank you so much!
Could you please day a day with your care children please snack.play time ect can't show faces what you day with them
Your so lucky to have a separate part of your home for your daycare zi don't have that
