[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep coming back to give you advice, but … A daycare  is a legitimate business. Being licensed gives you more of a leg to stand on regarding contract with parents, exclusion for sick children and payments. I see a lot of in-home daycare's run in a wishy-washy manner which attract wishy-washy parents and result in payment disputes etc. Trust me when I say you want to do this the right way.[/quote]

OP here. Oh, I know. I met a lot of anti-vax parents, weird diet restrictions that commercial daycares would never put up with. I want to get licensed, but the fence requirement will be an issue since I live in a townhouse community. It's a no-go unless I move to a single-family house.

On the other hand, my deck is above the back exit area, so I could maybe get away with putting a fence up if it's only in that area? My balcony deck is large and fenced. I guess we could use that area as the play area? There's not an exit from the deck. It's a balcony deck. Since my deck is fenced, the neighbors wouldn't see us. I'm not sure if this is a pro or con! The fence is very tall, so the kids won't be able to jump over it, and it's not open so that no one can see in. [/quote]

There are probably major rules against using a townhouse deck as a play area because of the fall risk, even with a high fence. There is also the issue of making sure it is properly maintained and won't collapse, etc.[/quote]
