Hello! Did you have to register with the city before you open your Home Daycare? Also how many of you filed for a DBA?
Thanks
Thanks

Hey!!! I had to register with DCFS in order to receive my licensing. The license is good throughout the state of Illinois. You can have a license-exempt home daycare. With that you can only care for up to 3 children under the age of 12; this includes any children in your permanent care under 12 also.
I haven't registered for a DBA and I don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon. It has been so slow getting any children, I've started looking for work outside the home. I think me not getting clients has to do with my area, though. Other people I know in different area are faring off pretty well. I said I wanted to go for the DBA legally.
If you want to go the licensed route, here is some information for you:
Day Care Information
877-746-0829
312-328-2779
Hope this helps and Good Luck!!!! -

thanks JayChanel! I am currently going through licensing with DCFS. I tried doing some research in regards to the city requiring anything else. Like zoning or some form of approval from the neighbors. I tried researching it and didn't come up with anything. Did you ever get the chance to contact that rep from the The Carol Robertson Center?Comment

Hi
