What do you mean? Are you asking about non-profit day cares like Head Start or co-op nurseries? There are non-profits day cares and usually their purpose is to provide care or learning experiences for children who may not be able to get that care for one reason or another. Many of them provide care for low-income families but not all of them. Some of them have a committment to quality care and want to provide it to families in their communities because no one else does. If you are non-profit you needs funding because you either don't charge at all or you charge far below what it cost to run the type of program you have. In some cases an organization runs a co-op where parents have to volunteer a lot to have their child participate. They will pay a very low fee. It's really good because most of them are half-day, the children get a good experience, the staff is usually only one of two people and a lot of stuff gets donated. It's low cost to run. The only thing about running a non-profit is that you have to be aware that you won't get rich. The day care is run for the purpose of the program. But you can make money. In most states you have to have 501K or some other type of program distinguisment. You may even have to incorporate. I think that was what I was told in Nevada. I'm sure each state will have it's own rules.

I work for a not for profit childcare center in Indiana. We are state regulated and NAYEC accredited. We have the Creative Classroom curricculum. My only problrbm with it is that we are not paid well.

I personally have my own for profit child care. I run it out of my own home. I am NYS certified, I have my CDA and am currently getting my accreditation. I dictate my own rates, I dictate my own vacations, etc. I am my own boss and love it. I love the children. I love that I get to have my own children with me. I dislike the wear and tear on my home and that sometimes my own schedule gets shoved out the window due to a late parent or what not, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I am the director of a not for profit center in our church. We run the facility to offer a quality program for a reasonable cost. We do not receive state funding for the program, but we set up ourselve to allow those parents who can qualify for state help to be able to attend. Pay at first for staff was low, but getting better now. We also work on having staff that is educated or willing to take classes to better help them in the classroom.
