Providers, who care for more than three children in addition to their own, must be registered. In a Registered Family Home, care is provided in the caregiver's home for no more than twelve children of whom six, including the provider's own children, must be between birth and preschool age. The first step in pursuing a home business involving child care is to call the local Child Care Licensing Department to inquire about the next scheduled mandatory orientation session. These six-hour sessions are conveniently held on Saturdays also and are designed to inform interested individuals of the standard rules and regulations set forth by the state. Caregivers over eighteen years of age can apply for a permit to operate a child care business in their home. Registered family homes are registered by the state instead of being licensed or certified.
An application for a permit to operate a home daycare can be obtained from the licensing department. It will be mailed to your address or you may pick it up, and the sooner it is filled you and sent to the state for approval, the sooner you can get ready for business.
