Sorry to hear that your mom passed away.
It's nice that you have this need to help others.
THAT'S GREAT!! :)
I'm almost positive you need a license/permit to operate a daycare. I odn't think you can run one with out it and I think your home has to be set up in a certain way (safety for the children).
