Has anyone turned their home daycare into a child care center? Either by way of converting your house or buying a building. I tried looking for it in the forum, but wasn’t able to find anything. I know that’s not a goal for a lot of people, but it’s something I would love to end up doing in the future and would love to hear first hand from others how it went for them and talk with them about it if they are willing. Thanks!

Home Daycare into a Center?

I am licensed as a large group family child care in MN
I operate out of a house we purchased strictly for operating a child care. I live several miles away.
Every state has different rules though and not all states allow the provider to live off site.
Being a center in my state had way too many requirements and restrictions so I opted to remain family care instead.

Originally posted by Molouu View PostI live in Florida and I haven’t looking too heavily into the center requirements since it wouldn’t be a reality for years, but from what I’ve seen they don’t seem too terrible. There is a woman I met once who’s center looks like it was once a house so I always thought maybe she converted her house into a small center which is what I would like to do one day. Are there any differences between a family daycare and large family day care besides amount of children?

Originally posted by CalCare View PostIt's different in every state. Here in California, the difference is mainly that you can add 6 more kids and you have to have an assistant there for that. Additional parts are the physical space has a few more safety regs. But that's all for going from "small family childcare" to "large family childcare". A center is a whole different set of regulations. Also we can't have a residential house become a center because you can't just have a childcare center on a residential zoned property. So, that would never happen. But there are old houses in areas that have become zoned for business, and those houses can be used as a center just as they can be used as dentist offices etc.
