how can you possibly provide a safe, nurturing environment for that many kids by yourself! I can see maybe if they were all over the age three, but babies and toddlers too? state here in OH for home care providers is max 1 adult per 6 kids (or 4 babies). more than that you need a home business license. day care teachers are allowed 1 adult to 12 kids 3-5 yrs, 1 adult to 5 babies, and 1 adult to 7 toddlers. if there is ONE baby in a mixed age group, then the lowest ratio is what you go by.
