Most veterinarians recommend that a puppy receive his first parvovirus vaccination when he is 8 weeks old. The second vaccination is given in three to four weeks, about age 11 to 12 weeks. A third vaccination is given in three to four more weeks, about age 14 to 15 weeks.
Meet with geriatric providers in your area to explain the benefits of your day care program. Visit family practices, internal medicine groups and surgical teams to drop off marketing material and meet with staff to pitch your facility. Make connections at hospitals and clinics that treat elderly patients.
In addition, you may be eligible for funding to assist you in starting or expanding your child care program. If you are interested in obtaining financial assistance to become a family day care provider, contact your local CCRR to request start-up funds. If you would like to contact a Child Care Resource and Referral Agency in your area, use Agency Directories to locate the one closest to you. This directory will provide you with the address information for the CCRR as well as the Regional Offices, and the Local Departments of Social Services.
