Im planning on opening a 0-18month program in august (I'm temp closed since my son was born) and because of my own children counting in the ratio, i can only take 3 others, with an assistant i can take 8 others. i didnt do this last time i just stayed above 18 months so i could have a better ratio but 0-18 is really in need in my area and i got calls for that age all the time when i was open last time so hoping this works out, just needing a reliable system
We have a child care resource center that aids providers looking to be licensed. It is separate from the licensing office, but provides you with relevant info, trainings, etc. I don't know if that's common, but you might see if your state has one. Ours will actually send you referrals for children based on the type of care you provide. They are kind of a middle man between parents, providers, & licensors.
