I'm starting a daily daycare business and I want to spend my money wisely. I need advice on how to make sure I'm not wasting any on unnecessary stuff. I also need to know how to build a management system that will make the daycare succeed.

I have run a home day care for 35 years. When buying stuff, think safety first! You need smoke detectors, a carbon dioxide detector, and a couple of fire extinguishers, one in the kitchen and one near the sleeping area. You need outlet covers and garbage cans with tight lids. You need childproof covers on your door handles, locks on cupboards, and gates in front of all stairs.
As for toys, you need art and craft supplies, building blocks, vehicles, dolls, doll house, a climber, a slide, and some child swings. Make sure everything is sturdy, non-toxic, hard to break, has no sharp edges, and won't fit into children's mouths. And children love books!
