I want to offer space for a pod…

Insurance:

Have you looked into insurance for your space? How much will it cost? With whom will you get it? Careful not to use words like school or teaching in your application. These words often mean higher premiums and ca complicate the process. Have proof of insurance to show parents.

Capacity Limits: Most insurance companies will only offer coverage for a maximum of 6-8 other people in your home. Know your limits. With special paperwork and commercial classification (such as day home status) your numbers can increase.

Bringing People into your home: Where will people work? What will they have access to? What areas are off limits? Clear expectations are important when opening up your home.

What is my vetting process? A suggestion for bringing in an educator would be to ask for basics such as a background check, first aid cert, and teaching cert. if they will be running a pod.

Cost: How much do I need to financially receive from this process in order to make it worth my time and opening up my home?

Availability: What hours do I want to make my home or space available? Do I want to be flexible? Do I have prior engagements? Be clear.
