    Subject:Plans to own a center in the future

    Hello to all, I'm currently a 2nd year business major with the goal of owning a center down the line. My passion is working with children and after earning my CDA Certificate during High School in an early childhood education program, volunteering at Head Start, working with infants at a Sunday School, and working as a group leader for school-age students I realized that I would like to own a center. This has been my dream and so I've been preparing by working one-on-one with the wonderful director at a center, networking as much as possible, doing research online, ordering books, and saving money. My goal is to have $30,000 saved by the time I get started and right now I'm half way there. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, good books or other resources? If you own a center, what was the most difficult thing that you encountered in your start-up? Is there anything that you feel you were not prepared for? Please share as much as you can!!!!
