I went to Craigslist.org and was able to get some great deals from people that were closing daycare center and daycare homes. They have the ABC fire extinguishers at Home Depot for $17-$20 and smoke detectors for $4-$5 (remember you need one for each room the children will be in) and carbon monoxide detectors from there as well for $17-$20. I purchased my first aide kit from Walmart for $9.99.
The total process for me was about 6 months before the fire marshall came out to do the home inspection. If I can think of anything else, I'll be sure to post it here. Good Luck and congrats on your business venture!!!

License exempt to License
Hi,
This is my first time to this site. I'm a license exempt provider, I wanted to know can I used my client house to watch her children. The reason why I say that is because I'm a renter. I want to become a licensed home daycare provider. I told my landlord about it she was kind of iffy on the situation. That why I ask the question in the process becoming license can I use my provider house.

Is your landlord skeptical of you running a home daycare because of insurance reasons? I would get to the bottom of that. My landlord was happy for me when I asked about the home daycare. He even helped to make sure I was in compliance before the walk through and the inspection.
I hope all goes well with you both.
