A daycare plan should cover your program model (home-based or center), licensed capacity and age groups, tuition pricing, state licensing and ratio requirements, staffing plan, facility and insurance costs, and enrollment projections showing your path to full capacity.
A licensed home daycare can start for $10K-$50K, while a childcare center typically requires $100K-$500K+ for lease, build-out to code, playground, furnishings, and staffing before enrollment fills. Co-COO models costs for your format and state requirements.
