Yep, same here... the only thing is certain counties (like mine) have to sign off on your childcare business if you go licensed and are renting a mobile home lot even though you own the house, otherwise, no regs - I'm licensed exempt & know of a minimum of 6 others within a half mile of me, plus there are the 3 licensed centers within one mile;There was a licensed home in the Park when I moved here 2.5 years ago but she closed...
