Does anyone know the process involved in moving a family daycare to a new home?

Has anyone in Santa Clara County had a positive experience working with a particular company looking for a house to rent and run a family day care in?

As far as licensing goes you have 30 days from the day that you move to notify them of your move and you have to have them come by to recertify you in your new address. That just means another safety inspection. Once you pass they give you a new temporary license right then and there but I believe it will have a new facility number. You'll get the actual license in the mail later just like when you first initially became licensed.

As far as running an FCC in a rental you just simply have to live in the home that you do child care in. A landlord can't keep you from running an FCC or charge you a higher rent than normal simply because you will do FCC but they can require a bigger deposit (but it can't be more than 2 months worth of rent). Even though FCC is a business it's not considered as "business use of a residential home", there are laws that exempt FCC's from this. You do not need permission to run an FCC from a rental home if you will be caring for 6 kids or less (small FCC) or 12 kids or less (large FCC) but you do need to notify your landlord using a form that is required by licensing. If you have a small license and you want to watch more than 6 kids or have a large license and want to watch more than 12 kids then you do need permission from the landlord and they can say no.

I hope this helps.

thanks that does help so just to clarify I do not need to tell licensing before I move.

As far a the renting a place I am very aware of the fact that the land lord can not stop me for doing day care in my home in cal. As I had some problems when I told my current land lord about my whanting run a day care in the home and had to educate him in the facts of the law, had to get a free laywer service invovled. Would like if possible to find a home that the land lord is on board with the idea in the first place but have "fought" that fight once and will do it again if need be.

Ps. I found you secound response to be very spot on in the details of the law just in case anyone else is wondering.
