Could you operate and be successful with only Infants and Toddlers? Even when they continue to lower the ratios for ONLY private centers?
Bringing up this old thread because it’s almost 2020. In my state, home daycares are getting more and more regulations that are turning us into centers. Our owner is about done...she asked if I would “take over” and my honest answer was: NOT with all these new regs coming down! Safe, clean, enriching home daycares for the neighborhood children are being pushed to follow all the center regulations, creeping in more every year. We have scholarships granted by the state for all-day PS....etc etc.
How are things going for everyone?
