Yes, please check!
I live in the county and they want $3500 to have a special "permit" to have a childcare. With this permit comes lots of rules. One being childcare children can only be outside during certain hours
I have had my childcare 21 years and literally just heard about this last summer. The county hasn't said anything to me but......I have no complaints from neighbors, parents, the state, etc so I think that help in my favor.
Another provider I know did have complaints from neighbors to the county and she ended up having to get one. This was years and years ago so I'm not sure how I didn't know about it.
My licensor said not to worry as they haven't been notified of this and if anything comes up let them know immediately and we can go from there.
So yes please check just in case through county and the city.
