the rest can be 3 years and older as long as 5 of the kids are under 6 years old.
if I wanted I could have all 3 year olds or 3 two year olds (3 under 3years) and 2 three year olds. etc.

My kids are 10 months and 3 years, so I can have:
my 10 month old + 1 other under 2 years
one 2 year old
my 3 year old + 1 other between 3 and 5 years old.
I can also have 2 before and after school kids over the between the ages of 6 years and 10 years.
Since my two kids are under the age of 6 they count in my age numbers.

If you need me to explain it better, P.M. me and I will give you my phone number.
WOW you got an awesome agency interpretation going on there Valerie count yourself lucky ... in my hometown if you had children under the age of 6 they count in your ratio of 5 including your own .... so you would only be allowed to have 3 daycare children within the 'age restriction totals' until your own were over 6 and school age and than you could have 5 daycare kids total...and one agency makes you count your own kids until they are 10!!!
