Hi I am new
I have a licensed daycare in California and I can have eight kids but no more 6 that are not school aged and of the six littles only two can be under two. Or I can have four under two in my home at one time.Comment

In Illinois we can have 3 unrelated kids. I have 3 but usually only have 1 or 2 at a time. I think you can have more as long as you only have 3 at a time. I don't know how your own kids count toward that--mine are adults & teens so they don't count. This summer I am also watching one of my daughter's classmates but she is 18 and doesn't count either (she is developmentally disabled and can't stay home alone.) Still haven't decided if I want to get licensed or not--I'm leaning toward not.Comment

In North Carolina we are allowed 2 unrelated children if unlicensed. Up to 8 if licensed (5 preschoolers and 3 SA).Comment

WA and MT
WA - you have to be licensed to care ANY children besides your own unless directly blood related (or a legally adopted child of a blood relative) in your home.
Licensed: Your own kids count in your numbers until they are 13 years old too. I have three kids of my own (ages 7,5,NB) so I will only have 3 daycare spaces for the next 6 years at least! I could have drop-in kids when they are at school but anytime they are on school breaks or home sick they count against my numbers so it is impossible to fill those spaces on a regular basis. My kids even count if they are home with their dad in an unlicensed part of the home; anytime they are on the premises.
Licensed, without an assistant, you can have 6 kids with only two under age 2 (or 3 under age 2 if one is over 18 months and walking independently). This is my current license.
If you choose to care for only over age 18 months your number goes up, to 8 i think with only 2 under 2 and they must be walking independently, and only 4 of the 8 can be under age 3.
If you choose to care for only age 3 and up you can have 10.
If you do preschool for only ages 3 and up, and they are with you less than 4 hrs a day then you do not need a license.
MT - I was licensed in MT before moving to WA and there you can care for 2 unrelated children in your home without a license.
Licensed, you can have 6, with only 3 under age 2. Your own kids count until they are 6 years old.
If you do infants only (under 2) you can have 4.
I know you can have more if they are older but i don't remember the exact numbers (i think it is 10 for 2 and up).Comment

I'm in Florida but not all counties have the same rules. In mine, you can only watch 1 child (or 2 if they are siblings) without a license. Any more than that require a license. I'm not sure how your own children count but if you are licensed they count in your numbers until they are 12 (I think, not sure how old).

@CedarCreek, here is where I found the info.
http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/Search/default.asp?q=Listed then scroll down to "Guidelines for Listed family homes"
----------------------------
B. The Number of Children in Care
The provider may care for up to a total of three children who are not related to her. If the provider cares for more than three unrelated children, she must register her family home or apply for a licensed child-care home permit. Licensing may investigate reports of more than three unrelated children in care.
The total number of children in a listed family home, including those related to the provider, may not exceed 12 at any given time. Children who are related to the provider are her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, first cousins, siblings, nieces, and nephews.

Are the stats on this site's links outdated/ They say IN can have 6, not including your own. Right now, including my own, I have 5, but will be starting a newbie in Jan.Comment

Co
In CO and the rules are:
Unlicensed: 1 Family unrelated, regardless of # of children and they should not be providing FT care (Like dc providers do)
Licensed: Up to 6 unrelated children FT with 2 extras Before and After School Care, no more than 2 under 2 unless you have a specialist license, then you can have 3 under 2.
In CO you cannot be dual licensed for child care and foster care, either. It's one or the other.
Adopted/biological kids do count toward your #'s.Comment

Nope.
If you work alone and have a GF license you can have up to 8 kids, but 2 of them must be SA and 2 of them may be under 2yo. If you enroll in 9 kids, you MUST have an assistant. If you have an assistant you may have 4 kids under 2yo. You may have 12 infants if you work with five assistants.Comment
