[quote=Anonymous]Wow! I'm from Massachusetts originally, and up there MANY people use licensed family childcare with only one provider caring for up to 6 children (only 3 under 2 years of age, and of those 3 only 2 may be under 15 months of age). Very few do 'group family childcare' where you must have 2 providers but can have up to 10 children. And most family childcare is more like a SAHM caring for children than a preschool program at a nursery school or childcare center. There will be babies, toddlers, and the occasional 3 year old, but most people search for preschool/childcare once their child is 3 years of age because they want them to have a larger environment that is more like school, with more friends. Children who are 3 and 4 yrs old are really ready for friends, playing with a larger group of children, etc. They would be bored in a small environment with only 4 kids at home all day. And you can't afford to set up a house like a full on childcare center.[/quote]
