Home daycare with 12 kids

[Samantha33]

I know how you feel. It's very frustrating. I live in a small town and this is the way many many of the providers operate. 8-9 and 12 kids is not uncommon. For those of us who follow the rules to the letter; it's very hard. Unfortunately, money always talks first and since their rate is lower they fill the quickest. Something else that ticks me off is we pay taxes on the little bit we make and they don't even claim it.
