A few things that this publication is not. • This publication is not a treatment of child care policy options or planning. Those topics are beyond the expertise of MnDEED and are left here reserved to the various public and private organizations that address them as their first priority. • This publication is not legal or tax advice. Potential child care providers should seek the assistance of appropriately licensed professionals. • This publication is not a textbook on how to conduct survey research, do population forecasting, or develop financial forecasts or financial documents. Nor does it seek to provide counsel on every topic associated with business start-up. MnDEED’s A Guide to Starting A Business In Minnesota, available free of charge in hard copy, or for downloading online, does offer a more encyclopedic treatment of topics. Likewise, Minnesota is rich in the number and kind of organizations that provide these kinds of technical assistance. A partial list of such organizations appears below on page 57-58. A complete list of county social and human service agencies appears below on pages 59-76. • This publication is not about curriculum design or the kinds and number of child development activities that a child care center can optimally offer. Those educational issues are beyond the scope of this publication and the expertise of MnDEED.
