Getting license for a part time (after school care)at home

Hi,

I am applying for a family child care license and am planning to do after school care at home for children aged 5 and up. I live in a rented apartment and am in CA. I spoke to the rental office the other day and they said I do not need their consent to start this but they told me I need to take some kind of insurance for a 'Big' amount. Can somebody help me figure out what this insurance is Please? Also, should I give a written notification to the renal office about my DC, before I send my application for licensing?

Please help. I'm worried about this now. Also, I'm new to the forum.

Thanks...

Welcome to the forum!

We have several members on the board who live in California so hopefully one of them will have some answers for you in regards to California licensing and if they don't know the answer, I am sure they can still probably point you in the right direction to find out.

Hi Wintersky! I live in Ca. and I started my day care in a 2bd rm. apt. As long as I had 6 kids I didn't need the apt to sign the licensing form but if I was going to have the max small license which is 8 the apt. manager had to sign that they were aware of that. Licensing may require that you still give written notification, check with your licensing worker about this. We do not have to have insurance as Providers in Ca, I did not. If the apts. are requiring it... Look into Assurant, they offer Renter's Insurance...you can also check to see if they offer Liability.
