Why would you want to chance a law suit in the event of an accident,your home owners not paying because you are running an unlicensed day care( business) and not having training, what about being accused of wrong doing.I know of a unlicensed daycare right now that is going to get in trouble for hiding a child for a parent when they were given the court order and said it would not happen again but they did.

To begin with.. 5 kids plus her own kids would look like a LOT of kids to the unexperienced eye. So she may be unlicensed but that doesn't mean she's operating illegally.
Secondly, just because someone is unlicensed does not mean they don't pay taxes. I have been unlicensed for 16 years and was licensed 6 years before that. I've always paid my taxes, so get over yourselves.
Thirdly.. It is true that more kids are hurt in licensed facilities than unlicensed. BUT, that doesn't mean that licensed is bad. But being licensed doesn't mean the facility is good either. It may just mean that more people choose to become licensed so they can get on the food program. So it stands to reason that there would be more children hurt in licensed facilities. For one thing, licensed facilities almost ALWAYS have more kids and more kids are more difficult to manage. I provide a much better service as a small unlicensed caregiver than I did when I was licensed for 10 kids all by myself PLUS my own 3 children that don't count against me in my state.
I've been in business 22 years without a single accident in my home. I pay my taxes and make a decent living. My parents and kids are happy.
