I believe I started the application in January and got my approval beginning of September. There was a waiting period in the Summer where I had to wait for orientation. The orientation default location for my county was over an hour away and in an area I was completely unfamiliar with. So I had to wait a month to get into a closer location in another county.
Then there was updating to my playard to bring it up to code. Once I resubmitted that my house is ready it took two weeks to get approved.
At that time they didn't do the inspection until the daycare was open for 90 days. So I did not get my inspection until beginning of December. Which was about a year from the time that I decided to open the daycare and started researching the how to.

Since then at the laws have been changed in the inspection happens before you can start caring for children.
