These days many mothers are looking for ways to generate extra income for their family but cannot or do not wish leave their homes while caring for their children.  With the rising cost of child care, more mothers find it easier to stay at home.  This has led to more mothers looking for a business opportunity where they can start immediately, without the hassel of unecessary spending. If you are looking to earn money while working at home, take care of your children and possibly start a business where your children and others in your neighborhood can learn and have fun, then renovating your garage into a daycare center is the perfect idea.

There are specific regulations in every state for starting a daycare center or preschool. Besides the building codes, you will have to acquire a short training class then complete an exam. You also need to be CPR certified.  There will also be a background check to evaluate if you can open up this business in your own home. When you have tecieved your license, you can then start converting your garage into a home daycare. This type of garage conversion brings the most joy to mothers as they are able to choose colors that they think are best for learning and wonderful interiors that will bring a smile on a child's face.

Transforming the garage to a daycare center

Typically a garage doesn't have finished walls and the floor is just concrete. Laying down colorful carpets to cover the concrete slab might be the easiest way to finish the flooring.  Although it might not be a good idea, especially due to children going in and out of the large room and making a lot of mess. In time, your home daycare will not look appealing if the carpeted floor looks dirty. The best way to give your floor a clean look, use a garage floor coating like an epoxy garage floor. Once the epoxy is dry, your floor will have a beautifully smooth finish and will be very attractive to parents who want to send their children to a nearby daycare center.  In regards to the colors of the walls, you have will have hundreds of bright colors to choose from.  Try to paint your garage walls with colors that are the most appealing to children. Since most garages have no windows, you can construct one or two windows to regulate the temperature and to bring natural lighting to your learning area.

Modifications to the garage door

One of the biggest factors to consider is the garage door when you're remodeling. If you don't want to remove the roll-up doors that seal your garage, you can keep it closed to make it look like your usual garage from the outside but on the inside, you can install huge rolls of colorful curtains or drapes to cover your garage door. This way, you wouldn't have to make so many modifications in your garage and you save money.

Control the temperature of your converted garage

If you have saved extra for reconstruction, consider building a separate bathroom for the children so they won't have to go into your house if they need to use the loo. You can install additional light fixtures to provide a well-lit space for the children to do their school work. Position portable heaters and fans to control the temperature of your home daycare. Since you are going to cater to toddlers who want to learn, you do not want to hinder their eagerness to learn when the room is either too hot or too cold.

Give your garage the final look and feel by adding the small accessories of a childcare center

Your final step is to purchase toys, games, tables and chairs for children, books, bins and supplies for arts and crafts. You can also throw large rugs in one area or in corners where children can play indoors and where they can comfortably sit on the floor. You can also put up educational posters, cabinetry to store your crayons, paints, glue and other tools used for arts and crafts. Place shelves for books to complete the facilities of a perfect daycare center. Remodeling your garage into a daycare center is a great way to separate your business or your work area from your personal life without the hassle of commuting. It can also be a wonderful place for you to bond and learn with your adorable children.
