I am licensed as a family provider but operate as a center.
There is no option for me to choose... I will click whish ever one you feel I fit into better, although "other" is usually my assigned seat.

I'd say that is large home daycare.....I have what the state calls a Group Child Care Home with 15 total, but at least 3 have to be of school age.
Lots of states call them different things I guess?
Small....no need for assistants, just the provider.
Large.....has assistant or licensed for more than 6 or so.

Large in-home.
I can have 10 preschoolers and my own toddler. I work both by myself and with a family member at times. Soon, it will be by myself 90% of the time!

Licensed for 8. I'm licensed to be open from 6:00am - 6:00pm and then again from 6:00pm to 12:00am. So, I can have 8 during the day and 8 during the evening and night. I'm small.

Thank you all for your responses, very insightful!
I was wondering if the one person who checked center director/administrator box could message me? Or if you are not a member, I hope you will join here!
As a center owner, director and teacher, it would be great to have more folks to network with.
The members here are, clearly, mostly home providers with a vast wealth of knowledge, new ideas, and helpful strategies! I think center directors especially are really missing out on some valuable information.

I'm a center employee. Maybe I can let the director know about this website. I'm sure she will find it interesting. Also, she would be jealous that so many of you get to decide if the child if too sick for daycare. If the decision were ours, just lets say many children would be sent home much sooner than they are now.
