Hi!
I have been lurking for a week and finally decided to register
My name is Denise and I am from Michigan. I am finally deciding (after dreaming about it for the longest time) to open a daycare!
I have three kidlets of my own (10,6,2) and I can honestly say I am beyond excited about this journey!
I am terrible at intros, but I figured I could at least throw mine out here.......so hi

I may not be able to get back to you right away, I have to cook dinner and stuff, but here's a link to the MI Child Care page. It has the rules and statutes on it as well as a Technical Assistance Manual where it thoroughly explains each rule. If you have any other questions, just ask! Hope it helps!

Born & raised in the UP myself. I miss it. Maybe someday I'll make it back up there. Again, welcome to the forum. I will try to answer some of your questions soon. Heading to bed shortly :-) Glad to have you here!
