If you join an agency who will find clients for you (not a popular choice among providers) and that is where you are restricted as to how many you can have in each age group. Again up to 5 children.
I would rather have my whole crew under 2. While the younger ones are more work physically, the older ones are more work mentally LOL.
If you have little experience in the daycare field, I would recommend you take some time filling your spaces so you can become comfortable in your routine and see what works for you.
The provider groups I am referring to are support/social groups for providers. They will have first aid classes, pot luck dinners and regular get to gether's. They do have group outings for those interested and you can also advertise your daycare on their website. There is usually a small yearly fee which you can write off.
Thanks again, Mimi. Will keep that in mind.
This site looks great - I'm glad I stumbled onto it.
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.
