(handbook, contract, etc) and other daycare forms such as printer ink,

programs, etc....basically anything needed to take care of the business
end of things.
**including safety
gates, electrical outlet plugs, drawer & cabinet locks, etc.
***Memberships for child
care associations you belong to or plan on joining in the near future.
****Miscellaneous will
include supplies & equipment purchased or needed for daycare
purposes such as: seasonal wall decor, playroom clock, furnishings - table
& chairs, high chairs, booster chairs, shelving/cabinets, etc.
These could be broken down into smaller categories in the budget plan if
you wish.
When planning
your budget keep in mind that you don't need to purchase everything all
at once! Start out with the basics, and all safety supplies &
equipment as required by law. Add to your supplies and equipment
as needed or as your income allows.
