Grey area hon ~ some inspectors might let it go and others might hold you hard and fast to the DNA requirement that any premise that cares for more than 5 children, not of common parentage, must be licensed regardless of the number of adults present.

Doing it in a private residence you are definitely more at risk of being viewed as a home childcare and therefore subject to the rules of no more than 5 children under the age of 10 plus your own ... so of you are going to keep it that 5 of the children are under 10 and any more children you take on would be 'over 10' than you would likely be safe.

However have you been able to find INSURANCE that will cover you on a private dwelling for that many children cause most providers have a hard enough time finding insurance carriers that will do 5 plus their own let alone 10 plus their own???
