I would like to start a daycare facility but I dont know where to start. Do I have to attend some classes? Are there grants for people starting a daycare facility? What are the rules and regulations for starting a daycare? What is the first step I have to take?
but do contact your government agencies...
The site I list below has links on the home page to individual states licensing regulations. Also, click on the "how to start a daycare" link. What you need is a guide kit that will answer all your questions at once. Otherwise you will spend a lot of time researching this.
Once at the "how to start a daycare" page click on the link at the bottom for the starting a daycare center guide. This will provide you with everything you need.
