A lot of those of us who already do HDC are doing it to be able to stay home and still bring in an income.

Interesting article. Thanks Joyce. It's true if you have good connections with neighbors who need child care you've already got a built in client base. Also start up costs should be relatively modest and if remodeling to accomodate an in home center was needed it's a good time to find a contractor at reasonable rates.
