Licensed vs. Registered vs. Unlicensed

...except you didn't answer their question.
You told them about your experience in Kansas

Because that is all I had to offer! And when I pull up the daycare.com page for Michigan all I have gotten is "page cannot be loaded" so I didn't think that would be helpful. I am wondering if the Michigan people are having a problem with their site.

What is your status? This is to not start a debate but more of a who do we each fall in line with as far as our businesses.

How many do you currently care for? How long have you been in the business?

Why did you start the daycare business?

Fully licensed..... 16 children

Been in business 31 years.

I started daycare to be home with my (then) small children when my husband was in the Air Force.

Whoa...just noticed how old this is!!!!!!

The requirements really vary by what state you live in. If you tell us where you live, maybe people from your area can help you. Usually there is quite a bit of paper work, a home inspection by a licensing rep, maybe a fire inspection, a background check, some stuff like that.
