Illegal/Unlicensed Daycare on My Street

[countrymom]

I think your just being a busybody and it seems incredibly ridiculous you're thinking if reporting based on a pack of diapers. Maybe she's donating them, maybe they are having a playdate. You have no reason to report based on that...what a busybody you are! Geesh!

your a coward for hiding behind "unregistered"

There are two unregistered posting on here, I didn't post that one. I don't have an account on here, still deciding if I want to register.

If you are calling people names, then you need to also apply that to yourself for making personal attacks when most are trying to have a friendly discussion.

It really ****s when you come on here to vent or need support on something - which is what this is supposed to be for, right?? And then you get people responding so rude & unhelpful... especially the ones hiding behind "unregistered". Yes everyone has their own opinions... but it makes me not want to post on here anymore when you get just sarcastic rude responses when you are just looking for a little helpful advice or to vent. Oh well. To each their own I guess!

I think you have misread. I said I would NOT be reporting them. I said that we have busybody neighbors who first incorrectly reported us as an unlicensed daycare when we first moved in - so that if, in fact, they ARE running an illegal daycare. That I'm sure one of the neighbors will be reporting it.

Also, not a busy body. I was leaving to get a coffee this morning, and saw two cars pull-up and two moms (who are not the residents of the house) get out with young kids and walk ten to the door. That was it. I don't have my binoculars out or anything. Haha.

Well why not? Go find them dern binoculars young lady.

I kid. I would report an illegal daycare.

Here's the thing, you get that from registered and unregistered from what I have seen on here!

Feel the same way. This is a tough profession, and it really helps to have people to lean on for support that understand what we go through daily. Sometimes it is helpful to hear constructive criticism, but the OP clearly stated she wasn't calling licensing- I don't see the big deal here.

Different unregistered posting now:

What state are you from? Is it illegal to run a daycare if you aren't registered? I have heard of a few states that do this. 6 months ago a woman opened a daycare next door to me. I had to report her not because I was jealous but because she had 15 children playing in her backyard with 1 adult. Registered or unregistered it was illegal. I understand where you are coming from!

It would be really cool if "unregistered" were not allowed. All they do is either lie about who they are or come here to stir up trouble. Sad. I'm not licensed anymore but still have one family (legally) so I still like to peruse the site.

Anyway, I would definitely keep an eye on it, just to see if she really does seem to be running an unlicensed daycare. I don't think it is being a busybody, it is being a concerned neighbor as part of a community, not to mention an actual business owner who went through the right channels to get licensed! IF something were to happen under her care, who's to say people wouldn't assume it was you? KWIM? For example, "oh, did you hear about what happened at the daycare on Maple Street? Oh, yeah, isn't that 'Blandino's' daycare?" Even if you know it wasn't you, others may not, and I would have for people to associate my street with the bad daycare... Esp. if you are a GOOD, legally licensed one!

Ha--and I hope you don't live on Maple Street, I just pulled that out of the air.

Yes, it is illegal. Unless they are family members or in care less than 15 hours a week, even having 1 child is illegal.
