I'm not sure where to ask this but I was needing some help.
My wife has been running a home daycare for 20 years. 20 years without incident or any complaints. Recently the state contacted her telling het she needs to be licensed because she is watching five children. She has been operating for years w/o a license and is discouraged by their threatening notification. She looked into getting a license and the rules and fees and did not like the way it looked at all. My wife has raised many children well and many of the kids still visit us and their families are still close but someone contacted the state and told them we have one more child that is allowed for an unlicensed business. Can they make her comply? I realize they don't care that she has been running a loving, safe place for twenty years without a problem or complaint or incident.
She is considering quitting which would be a great shame. We are in the state of Arizona and neither her or I know of any other options on how to avoid becoming state regulated.
