State of PA says:
You can care for up to 3 children unrelated to you at a time w/out a licence.
4 to 6 is a family daycare that need to be licenced.
7 or more i s a center needing licencing.
No limit on hours.

But check your township. I can only have 4 to 5 in a family care here by their standards. And hours of licenced is 7am to 7 pm. So after that I have to stick to the 3 limit form 7 pm to 7 am.

It is ok and legal to have 3 in am and 3 in pm as long as not more than there at the same time.

I persoanlly have 2 in am 8:30 to 4:30 pm, 1 from 5:00 pm to 2:00 am and another child comes different times either 7 am to 5 pm or 7 pm to 7 am. so it changes but I do not have more than 3 at a time.

My bio children as well as foster, custody care and respite care children do not count towards the ratio.

I am currantly working on my licencing but wonderin if it is worth it. (been unlicenced for over 10 years, pay my taxes, have EIN number as well as a Fictious name) So far I put out over $1000 for lawyer fees just to get approval from the Township.

But I will get rembursed for meal & snacks plus pay is more thru CCIS.
