How Many DCKs Do You Have?

[jojosmommy]

What class is your license? Just curious as you are only allowed 8 under school age?

I am licensed as a C-3 but operate as a C-2 instead.

I have 10 kids under school age and 2 school age kids (that do not go to school). So I have 12 kids daily. I am not required to have a second adult or helper while operating as a C-2 but the ratios and second adult/assistants change when I operate as a C-3.

I am limited to no more than 2 under 2 years of age.

I am c-1 but can technically switch between c1 and c2. Which I personally believe is a recipe for disaster but apparently its pretty common.
C1 is 10 total, 8 under school age 3 under 2.
C2 is 12 total 10 under school age 2 under 2 with only 1 under 1 . I THINK?!

I have 18 enrolled but usually have 11-12 here. Two assistants each come 2 days per week then Friday is a slow day with just me.

I have 10 enrolled

[TaylorTots]

DS (SA) 6 yo
DD 3yo
DCG 11m
DCB 11m
DCG 2m starting April

Both of the 11m olds are teacher's children. I add 2-3 school agers during the summer since I loose those kiddos.

I can have 5 kiddos beyond my own, but keep it at 3-4 most of the time.

I have 16 daycare kids. Four of those are under 2 years old. The rest are 2 through 5. No school age kids this year (yeah!).

We are a family group in every sense of the word. We must have 2 providers, but usually have 3 to 5 depending on what family member is helping out. We are all OK'd by the state. My youngest daughter (17) is OK's to be an assistant with supervision as she is under 18. Everyone else can be a full sub.

[BumbleBee]

I was just wondering how many kids everyone has? Ages?
Do you have an assistant?
Are you licensed?

8 dck.
My mom is my assistant (basically comes over for any appt I have, or just to get her baby fix).
I am licensed for 6 at one time. (With limits on # of children under a certain age)

Dcb - 9
Dcg - 9
Dcg - 5
Dcb - 3.5
Dcb - 2
Dcb - 21 months
Dcg - 7.5 months
Dcb - 1 week (will be starting at 8 weeks old)

During the day I have 2 under 17months and 3 between 20months and 3 years. Only before and after school I have all kids. My first family leaves as soon as I get back from picking one school age up.

You do what you think you need to but if state were to come out before or after school, you would be out of ratio. What do you do when the school age children are out of school and need all day care?

[LaLa1923]

I am licensed and would love an assistant.
