Business Plan Writing Courses

I need some help writing a business plan.?

I am trying to start my own Daycare Center/Preschool and I need to write a Business plan, but I have never taken any business classes and Dont know where to begin. If anyone out there has taken some courses on how to do this, and could give me an outline of the way it should be, and what types of information I should include in it. Keep in mind that this is a Daycare/Preschool – so I am looking for help with writing a business plan for this purpose. Thanks so much for your help!
