Using Room Dividers in Your Home Day Care Business

Day care room dividers If you’re running a home daycare or even considering starting a home daycare, defining a space is important. It is a must to include areas for activities, exploration, children’s needs, and your family life is crucial. Deciding how to define and better use your space can make having a home daycare business easier for you and the children you care for each day.

Home Day Care in the US

According to the US Census Bureau, in 2011, of the 32.7 million children in a regular child care arrangement, and of that, 13% are in a home daycare setting. Home daycare facilities come in many sizes, price ranges, and vary in the scope of services they offer to clients. In addition, according to Babycenter.com, licensing requirements vary from state to state, but the gold standard for home daycare accreditation by the National Association for Family Child Care. Acquiring licensing and accreditation is one way to make your home daycare stand out from others, and the internet is overflowing with industry-related websites and forums addressing the questions, trials, and tribulations of starting or running a home daycare business.

Some home daycare providers focus specifically on children over the age of one, while others offer care for children from birth to age 5, and others also offer an after-school care option. Another strategy for getting and maintaining clients is showcasing the quality and quantity of services you provide, and through the professional image, you portray.

Defining Space in Your Home Day Care

Being able to show parents that your home daycare business offers their children a professional but the homelike atmosphere is very important! To do this, take stock of how your daycare runs on a day-to-day basis and use that to help you decide if your home daycare can benefit from a Screenflex Portable Room Divider.

Could you and the children greatly benefit if from the ability to:
  • Quickly create a sick child area.
  • Designate a separate infant space to keep children safe from rambunctious play. The designated space is easily accessible and still in the same room as you.
  • Provide a quiet nap area for those who still need a daytime rest break.
  • Create a private area for potty training children, and/or a diaper changing area. A separate area allows you to stay in the same room with all the children and tend to their needs, give privacy to potty trainers, and keep other children away from any unsanitary situations.
  • Have a designated library, reading area, or classroom
  • Have a way to display photos, school work, art projects, and important updates. This will keep parents informed during pick up and drop off.
  • Separate your home daycare business from your family space in the blink of an eye!
