If your day care home serves more than six children you need ?

Certificates from all local county and state agencies, inspections, etc. Must have fire extinguishers, fire and smoke detectors, first aid training and approved supplies. evacuation and disaster plans and escape route map. Often, a food handler's permit is required as well. Outside play areas must be fenced according to local guidelines and have safe approved toys and play structures, and really good insurance. If you have any employees they will need to be thoroughly background screened. You and all employees will be required to submit fingerprints as well. It's a big step, I wish you well.
