OPEN THE DOOR — LICENSING YOUR CHILDCARE BUSINESS

There are people in Montgomery right now who are operating informal childcare arrangements who have the skill, the space, the love for children, and the entrepreneurial instinct to build a real licensed childcare business. The only thing standing between where they are and where they could be is understanding the licensing process.

Open the Door: Licensing Your Childcare Business is a 90-minute working session for aspiring and early-stage childcare providers who are ready to make their business official — and for established providers who want to understand their compliance obligations more fully.

The session walks through the complete licensing pathway for both home-based daycare and childcare center operations in Alabama: DHR requirements, the application process, home inspection standards, staff requirements, physical environment standards, certifications, and how to maintain compliance.

This is the roadmap that too many childcare entrepreneurs have had to piece together on their own. SBOSS is putting it in one room, in one session, with the people who can answer your specific questions.
