Ok I would like to know from other child care providers the have either been licensed or are in the process of being licensed what tips can you give me to achieve this goal ?? I know a few things that need done as far as under the swing sets and things like this and how tall the fence has to be but what else ??? Any advice or tips would be very helpful :) And as always thanks in advance
It's been years since I did this. But I would start with asking your local fire fighters if they have someone they can come out and check over your electrical and fire exits. I would hate to see you get far into the process and find out you have big issues that need changed. You would be surprised by how many people in brand new houses get blindsided with major changes that need to be made.

You can contact you local DHS and let them know you are trying to get licensed. They will send you information that contains everything you need to know. I'm not sure how it is in Missouri, but in Oklahoma it's fairly easy to get licenced. Best of luck!
I'm not sure about the lisencing, but are you in the Oak Grove, Mo area?
are you in ponca city oklahoma? and would you be willing to watch my 4 month old daughter, and how much would you charge if your available?
thanks

This has the handbook you will need to read to get license and tells you the regulations. You might have to check with the local office to see if you have to attend a meeting before being licensed. In Kansas you must attend an informational meeting where they give you all the forms and discuss them with you before you can be licensed.
