my phone has been ringing off the hook lately...which i guess is a good thing!!!!

however, i am only licensed for 5 (Because i have two under two yrs old) plus 2 SA. i could go "group" which i think doubles the ratio

my question is...is it worth it? insurance would double, i have to hire an assistant, of course increased costs of food, supplies, etc.

can anyone here (i'm in NY by the way) who is group tell me if they make a profit off of being group size, or should i just stay where i'm at? i'm all for filling a need in the community, but would dread the extra work or hassles to not make a profit. going rate where i am is $125 a week, so by the time i pay an assistant minimum wage, youre looking at 2 1/2 kids worth of tuition right there.

and how different are the regs when you go to group? i'm sure they are strickter cause it would be a "license" and not a "registration"

thanks!
