Here's a little bit of starting information to get you on your way.
I contacted my county health department to get started. There they
gave me a start-up packet which included a guide book, state forms, and
applications. It took about 2 months to receive my temporary
license. Once I received the temporary license an inspector came
to my house to look it over. She made a list of things that need
to be changed to bring my house up to code. Once I made those
changes the inspector sent off her paperwork and I received my permanent
license. I also had to have the state fire marshal come out to do
an inspection.
I live in a super-single trailer home so I decided to purchase
a
small house close to our elementary school. I could use my home to do
daycare but you're only allowed so many children per square foot. I
wouldn't have been able to watch my max number of children.
Country Kids Parent Handbook
Revision coming soon...
(I use a cheap paper 3-ring front/back pocket folder. I put all paperwork
that needs to be returned to me in the front pocket, the handbook itself in
the 3-ring clasps, and extra information or "just incase" paperwork in
the
back pocket. The parent's get the handbook when enrolling their child but
before the child actually starts to attend. They keep the binder until
daycare enrollment is terminated.)
