The first step you will take when your open a daycare center is to check with your local health services office to get the list of standards, guidelines and permits that you would need.

After you have fully reviewed the standards and guidelines, you need to submit your building plans to your county health department for review of your local sanitarian. If you are planning to serve food when you open a daycare, you would need to submit a food service plan as well.

You county health department will then review your plans. Your plan may need revisions and additional information before it can be approved. Most county health departments will send letters to update you on the current status of your application. You can also visit them personally to hasten the process.

Once your plans are approved, you can proceed with building your daycare center. Your country health department will send you an approval letter and the list of inspections you have to go through before you open a daycare. There are usually three inspections before your big opening day.
