Do you want your daycare to make 6 figures in 2025? Here's how our daycare made it's first 6 figures (and yours can too)!
#1. Believe that you can.
The first step to making 6 figures is to believe your daycare can make 6 figures. Once you acknowledge your own greatness and potential, anything is possible.
#2. Stop thinking you need a large childcare center to do so.
Six figure years aren't just for childcare centers, they're also for home daycare providers caring for small children too.
#3. Apply for a home daycare license to care for 10 children.
Most states refer to home daycare license of that size as large family childcares. The name may vary from state to state but the key to have a license to care for 10 children.
#4. Specialize in early learning childcare.
Generally, childcares who specialize in early learning childcare ( childcare for children ages 6 weeks - 5 years old) earn the most money and see the highest profit.
#5. Join the subsidized childcare program and provide care for parents who pay for childcare out of pocket as well as parents whose childcare is paid (in part or in full) by the state.
Don't leave any daycare money on the table, care for children who's parents pay for childcare out of pocket and parents whose childcare is paid for (in part or full) by the state.
#6. Offer competitive, yet affordable weekly daycare rates.
Your daycare rate doesn't have to be the highest for you to make the most money. For your daycare to make the most money, price your daycare rates affordably yet competitively.
As a general rule of thumb, to attract new parents and increase parent loyalty a good daycare rate for your area is $5-10 less per week that the highest daycare rate in your area.
#7. Join the Federal CACFP Food Program to get reimbursed monthly for serving healthy meals.
The less money your daycare spends on food, the more your daycare will make. Generally, reimbursements are 75%-85% of all food costs, resulting in substantial daycare savings.
#8. Develop a good daycare slogan, market your daycare daily.
Good daycare business names and slogans will help you attract new parents and develop a reputation for being the best daycare in the city.
Market your daycare daily and create a wait list to create a consistent income and immediately fill spots when families move or children age out of care.
#9. Save money by using a monthly daycare menu and using monthly curriculum kits.
Every dollar you save is a dollar you make. Rather than create new menus each week, create a monthly daycare menu which rotates meals throughout the month.

#10. Hire only qualified daycare teachers and helpers.
Hiring unqualified daycare helpers and teachers will hurt, rather than help your daycare business.
Hire daycare teachers/helpers who are professional in appearance, have experience working with children, and have consistent work history (one year or more on one job).
