Hello!
Recently my family and I relocated to Colorado from Texas. I had a home daycare in Texas, I must admit things were easier in Texas and seemed friendlier. I have researched my part for licensing, unfortunately I cannot get licensed due to the home my DHs company provided for us (no fenced yard!) ARGH
But I have discovered that I can still provide care for 1 family at a time. Which is a relief due to the fact that we have grown very used to me bringing in money and my little one loves his friends.
My only concerns are the amount to charge, associations/support groups and the basement!!!
I have called a few providers, none interested in chatting about $$ but very interested in wanting to watch my kids while I get a job ?!?!?
In Texas we were a group, assisted with backup, when full we passed on others information etc - does that not exist in Colorado??
The last issue, the basement! It's not finished and here we have to have permits and all the good stuff, it's a rental and I am not interested in dropping that amount of money on a house that's not mine! But I am wondering if I can fake finish it, foam boards & rugs just enough to cover the concrete, pipes, ac and water heater but at least it would be nicer and allow the space to be used for arts and crafts, playtime and such. Am I insane for thinking about this??? I have kiddos of my own and this house is much smaller than our old one and the kids missed their acreage and bonus rooms.
