This is actually illegal if anyone reports you! You cannot have a total of 5 dck's combined between all of you...no matter how many adults...and back yards count as premises of your home. I would be careful with that one!

I go to other daycare providers houses all the time for playdates and there will be 2 or 3 of us with 10-15 children in a nice big back yard. I can't see the difference if we are in a nice fenced yard or at a big park where it's harder to keep track of your children. But each of us are within our limit of 5 unrelated children.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
