I agree ... I have MANY illegal daycares in my neck of the woods so my website under 'openings' I also address the 'rules' without bashing anyone else!

You could do something like 'As a dedicated professional my program prides it self on self regulation and therefore follows the rules and regulations for private home based childcare by ensuring that there are never more than 5 daycare children in attendance at any one time between the ages of 0-10 years of age' for more information on the rules and regulations of private home childcare click here (and provider a LINK that prospective clients can find more information on the rules to educate themselves and that way they can read on a government site to be wary of anyone whose illegal and the dangers that poses)
