Kudos to you for thinking outside the box!!
Every state is regulated differently, so check into the ins/outs. You would have to think about preregistration, if you are going to be licensed. It would seem like parents might not think they need you, until they need you. (Just thinking out loud here.) Maybe contact all the providers in your area so they can refer the parent to you, possibly. Make sure they understand you aren't there to take their business, just help them with it.
Good luck!!!
Best of luck
