Hi,
I’ve just been reading an interesting web page all about home daycare licensing which I though you might find helpful.
Here’s an excerpt:
“In theory, almost all home daycares are required to meet state licensing regulations for health and safety to operate. But in practice, many get away without one, especially if the provider is taking care of only one or two children besides her own.
Many states require home daycare providers to go through a background check and some training, according to the Children’s Defense Fund, but only a few states inspect all family childcare homes. Some states require nothing more than that the provider mail in a self-certification form or add her name to a list.”
You can read the whole thing here: Are home daycare centers licensed?
Talk soon,

P.S. Thousands of future or current home daycare providers just like you have already signed up to my ‘how to start a home daycare’ newsletter. It’s getting a bit overwhelming and I may cap signups soon, but for the time being you can still join. Don’t worry, it’s free. All you have to do is enter your name and e-mail below:
