How to Start a Daycare E-book

Calling all daycare providers, current and future! I'm working on an e-book to help potential providers start a daycare. If you have any questions that you have not seen addressed (or at least answered to your satisfaction) in other books, websites, or forums, please let me know and I will try to include it in our publication. I want this to be written "by providers", "for providers". Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Some developers are even focusing on including a child care facility as part of master planning of new areas, knowing that having a quality child care center nearby will make the area more desirable for both employers and employees alike."
