10 Babies Too Much?

[jenboo]

In my state, the ratios allow a home daycare to have 10 kids under 24 months with two adults.

I ran an infant toddler daycare with my husband with 10 kids under 24 months and it was fine. There is a huge need in my area and i was able to charge a lot.

The key is having a rock solid routine and strict policies for the parents.

Plus because my emps are going to cost 3 infants or 4 potty trained and legally I can be legally Unlincensed or ‘listed’ for 3 besides my own (that’s 5 total) it kinda has to be worth it financially to have the license, I have to be able to afford the license and employees so when I say 2:10 0-18 months Or kids over that or whatever , 2 are mine unpaid, 3-4 are payin the employees.
It’s not real lucrative that’s only maybe 5 paid.

What did your parents think when signing up and you told them how many you had in care? And how did you set up your house or care area?

10 littles under 2 i could not do. However my daycare now consists of mostly under 3 now.
Licensed for 12 with an assistant. We are allowed 4 infants.
We have two one year olds, a 4 month old and an 8 month old.

Then we have 6 toddlers all mostly 2 turning 3 soon. One 4 year old that is part time.
