I live in Cleveland TN and im wanting to start my own daycare, i love kids and it has always been a dream to do this i am only 20 years old. But I am wanting to know what i need to start. I am not sure how many kids I will have but my question is will I have to have a License to do it? I need a lot of imformation on this. you can e-mail it to me at. volleyball3_23@yahoo.com. thanks
Hi Krista! Every state has different licensing rules. Each state allows for you to care for a small number of children without being licensed but I highly recommend becoming licensed. If you want to have your daycare parents treat you like a professional you need to act like it first. Show them you are willing to go the extra step. It helps them in lots of ways one of which is allowing them to write their daycare expense off on their taxes. Good luck. Check out family care connection.
