I have wanted to open a home daycare for over 8 years, however, because we have been renters rather than homeowners my dream has remained out of reach. We are waiting to close on our first home and finally we have the means to make my dream come true. My husband and I have four children, three boys who are 5, 9, and 14. We also have one daughter who is 12. I have joined this forum in hopes of finding suggestions and insights from others who already have their home daycare up and running smoothly. I hope this is a very active forum!!!!
