Adult Special Needs Daycare

by Kim Gamboa

Mar 2, 2008

/blockquote>

Hi there, I'm looking to start my own adult daycare for
special needs kids and adults. I'm needing some info from
anyone out there that has any ideas on how to do so! I
know there is a HUGE need. I work in the schools now and
did home daycare for years and want to start it for those
kids and adults that fall between the cracks of the
systems out there. PLEASE email me and let me know what
info you have and what I need to do to start it up. Thanks!
Kim G
