State grants. Neighbors. Ask businesses to donate. They love that! Makes them feel they are part of their customers lives and that is so very important to them, as that is where their money is. In the pockets of the people who will be using the donations and that gets them more business and respect as well as do not forget to send each business a thankyou card on behalf of the community for their help.

~~a safe and clean environment for them to play in, adiquate napping places, a budget, plans on what the parents are required to supply and what you will supply, and depending on how many children, and what ages you plan on taking in, you may need an assistant or more.  an emergency supply of diapers for those parents who forget to bring enough for their babies... a variety supply of extra clothes for emergency situations, depending on the age of the children, an activity plan, suitable and age appropriate music, videos, books and toys that can be easily cleaned, (especially when it is cold and flu season) if you are going to have outdoor activities it would be a good idea to have a fenced in yard, a written contract between you and the parents stating what you will supply and what they will supply, including your rates in the contract, and also including charges if you have to supply the emergency diapers (to cover your costs)... plan nutritious snacks, take it easy on the sugar content and salt content. -- another form you might consider is a medical concent form with the child's dr's name and phone number on it, with permission in an emergency situation to have the child transported to the nearest hospital, and also a list of each child's medical needs, meds, allergies, etc...~~

Look at preschools in your area. Or after care places.

I would send enough for the first few hours, unless you are dropping your kid off at night. The other parent should provide everything unless they don't see the kid regularly. If they only see your child...say...once a month for a weekend, I would bring enough for a day, they should provide anything that won't spoil. But if it is a regular arrangement (evenings from 5-9 or every other weekend), they should have everything they need on hand, from bottles to diapers to formula. Good luck!

Try the Department of Protective and Regulatory Services for your state.  They should have a listing and rating for all licensed child care facilities

you should talk to your parents about this and suggest that maybe they have friends that you know that might like you to babysit occasionally. its a good way to get started and a little extra pocket money.

Try Yellow Freight.  They've delivered large (about the size of a couch) and heavy (about half the weight of a car) stuff for us.

Try a bubble machine (they go for around $15 and will keep the kids busy outside safely for quite a while!  Or a no spill bubble set that can blow their own bubbles and LOTS of bubble formula.  Kids of all ages love them.  \n\nOf course, there isn't much you can get for the baby.  Maybe a cute bank with a little in it to start.\n\nAs a mom, I can tell you the greatest gift is being able to sit back and relax a little and watch the kids have fun.  You can spend the time catching up and you both can enjoy watching the kids have a ball!\n\nHave fun and good luck!  :)

babysitting, put a notice on the bulletin board at your local grocery store or community center.  Look on-line at the red cross or YMCA for babysitting classes.  To give you some experience and knowledge of what do to in case of an emergency.

I would say only give a gift to the teachers that work directly with your son. And if you dont want to give a gift you arent obligated to. I used to be a daycare teacher and some parents would give small gifts (from the child) and others didnt. I would never expect it. You could do something small like a scented candle that you wrap in tissue paper in put in one of those tiny gift bags. Or you could fill a x-mas coffee mug from the dollar store with m&m's or some other candy. You could do a $5 gift card for the nearest coffee shop (but if you do it for all 7 people that may be too much $$). You could do a gift of a new toy or book for the classroom which would go to everyone--you  may need to ask the director of the daycare their policy on donating to the classroom though. Even a homemade christmas card made by your son would be nice. DONT SPEND A LOT OF MONEY if you do choose to give gifts! It is not expected!
