Now I'm a bit curious. I might have to call about that.

I believe where I live you have to live in the place you run a home daycare from.
We are permitted to have 12 children by ourself as long as they fall within certain age groups. Only a certain amount are permitted to be under 18 months, a certain amount under 4, etc.
Have you called your licensing department to inquire about owning a separate home for daycare JUST to make sure before you begin investigating more?
