Legally Unlicensed????

In Vermont you can watch children within 2 families (not including your own over age 2) and be legally unlicensed. So if between those 2 families there are 10 kids, so be it!

In Missouri it is called license exempt you may care for up to 4 unrelated children ( not including your own) with out a license.

You may also have 1st degree relatives and not count them. They are trying to get rid of that rule though

Here in BC, Canada you can care for up to 2 kids or one sibling group without being licensed. Relatives don't count.

legally unlicesned up to 5 kids NOT INCLUDING your own children. If you go thru wee watch or one those companies its 5 kids INCLUDING your own.

now I read in the nursery act, and its conflicting whether its 5 or 6 kids. And I think the age is 10 not 12 yrs old.

I guess I should have said NB not Canada. It seems each province is different. My bad!

I had the same question and am also from CT, here licensing is super strict and If you care for kids in your house w/out a license you get a fine, I believe that you could take care of children that are not yours in the other person's house but not from yours. I could be wrong but think that is how it is here.
