What's important to know?
There are about 47 thousand municipal kindergartens in the Russian Federation. They are really capable of more or less qualitatively serving 60% children. Therefore, parents have to join the queue for admission to a "kindergarten" almost from the birth of a child.
You have to pay for it - to make voluntary donations, and, in fact, to pay bribes. At the same time, no one guarantees the quality of services. In such circumstances, the optimal and rational alternative is private institutions for children - gardens, early development centers. Features opening a private kindergarten is the high cost of services, so the focus should be on people with an above-average income.
It is most profitable to open a center for children in a metropolis with a population of more than 1,000,000 people. In a small town, private institutions of creativity and development will not be in such demand.
Preschool educational institution or developmental center
When registering a business, it is necessary to pay attention to the choice of OKVED - the name of the activity. An excellent solution will be:
92.3 - "Other entertainment and recreational activities."
An educational institution, educational center must have a state license to provide services in order to operate legally. It is also required to own or lease a free-standing building with a closed, fenced surrounding area to ensure the safety of walks.
A children's development center may not meet these requirements. It can be opened without a special license, the main thing is to comply with hygiene requirements and ensure fire safety. Although, in essence, it will be the same as a private kindergarten providing childcare services.
