I'm also in Kansas and I agree with everything Josey said... I'm in the process of getting licensed and will have my inspection on Monday. It really is pretty easy. Here's a link to the
Preschool/Childcare Centers/Head Start Information.
I didn't read through all of it, but it looks like for Centers, Preschools, and Head Starts there must be a Program Director and it can't be in a home. Here are the
Instructions for Completing the Preschool Application.
You're probably better off just getting licensed as a home daycare IMO. Here you can find all the information for
Licensed and Group Daycare Forms.
Good luck!
ETA: With those 2 children you're already at 24 hours a week
