As a parent, my number one concern is always the safety of my children. When allowing others to care for them, I expect that the responsible adult will make safety a number one priority as well. Women who choose to run daycare businesses from their homes take on a huge responsibility in caring for other's children. It is important that daycare business owners purchase furniture that meets current safety standards. In addition, they must take an extra step and do the "little" things that may get overlooked. Finally, it is crucial that daycare business owners purchase an insurance policy that covers accidents that may occur.
