I did a little google research and found this...
http://www.dpw.state.pa.us/ServicesP.../003670907.htm

It states:
"Child Care Center - A child care facility in which seven or more children who are not related to the operator receive child care. A child care center must have a certificate of compliance ("license") from the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) in order to legally operate."

Hope this helps!
I heard the same for here in Florida that you can only watch one family's kids w/out being licensed. But what if that one family has many kids like 5+? That's ok? It doesn't make sense.
