Hi Terri!
I think starting a website devoted to daycare is a great idea,
especially since you are already an expert! You could have a total
information site for both parents looking for information on daycare
and daycare providers looking for better ways to do things, you could
sell ad space, ebooks, and write your own ebook on how to start a
home daycare, an ebook on activities for daycare providers, etc...
Sounds like you already have some great ideas.

I would make sure your new domain name be soemthing with your
keywords in it for good SEO. (Search engine optimization) like Home-
Daycare.com or soemthing like that. I use Homestead, and they will
transfer your domain name over as well. You can find more info about
them in the ebook.

Good luck and keep us updated on how it goes!
