Depending on your location the rules may differ. In Illinois the 407 rule is for home daycare and 408 rule for group home daycare. In addition DCFS conduct unannounced yearly visits. However the year your renewal is due they may send a package of requirements which includes the background check of everyone (family and staff), medical forms which includes you DTap and Tuberculosis tests, lead water test, radon test for your home, Food handlers permit, SIDS, Shaken Baby, Mandator Reporter, Hazard Protection Plan and many more paperwork including fire marshal report - Bear in mind each state or country has its own rules ❤

😅😅😂❤ I love your Fire drill
@@LurlineMckenzie-f6q thank you 😊
Absolutely beautiful space!
@@mylittledaycare thank you so very much 😊
Fire drills are very important especially- this time of year when indoor fireplaces 🔥 are used a lot.
I love the idea of using luggage for storage and it also make sense in the space
@@PreciousBB18 thank you very much🥰. I am thinking of using a small dresser piece and take out the large standing shelf and luggage. But for now the luggage works for our small space and hides excess stuff 😁.
Wow super ❤❤❤ your video i am also watching
@@minkymickypinky thanks very much. My kiddos love this place 🌞
You are an angel 🩷 how sweet.
@@AG-kr1my ahhh. Thank you very much, they are like my own little kids💛we’ve created a special little play school.
never see snows
@@suddenlysomething4137 ahhh! For years I didn’t either until I moved to the USA - there is no snow in the Caribbean where I’m from.
They look like mini firemen 😂❤❤
@@lolo0302 that’s a new one for us love it💛 The clients call them fisherman suits 😂
Lucky and they are so cute
@@marionneellis8918 thank you 😊
That is such a cute snowman mold.☃️ Always exciting to see the first snow!
It really is! Thank you. We got it from target years ago.
Kitchen table
@@PreciousBB18 ahh, yes, i know that one too and many providers gave up their tables - the sacrifices we make 😍
Is everything out 😮
@@suzettesalmon9545 we found dead hornets and dried up remnants 🙌🏽
i love your classroom! I would love to see your ceiling branch up close. I would like to replicate one for my classroom. Your videos are so calm and lovely!!
@@SmalltowndRiot506 thank you so very much. You are very kind. My assistant wrapped it with yarn and I tied fish line around the branch. I secured the fish line on some ceiling hooks 🪝- Amazon sells the adhesive ones. I then added flowers from our garden ( hang the flowers down so they dry showing the fluffy petals) Hope this helps 😍
@@LilBebeAcademy thank you so much! I found some good driftwood that I am going to use. Keep the videos coming, they are great!
@ glad you found something to use 😁 I will do my best to keep the videos coming ❤️
I gave up my fireplace
I’m currently on a burnout. Yesterday, Saturday, I’ve slept the whole day and when my own 5 year old asked to read a story, I said no. 😢

@@jackieshomechildcarespace9822 muahhhh 💋
hi I hope you are well. I visited your (Lil Bebe Academy) youtube channel and I subscribed to the channel. This is a very nice channel and It has very good video content. But However, during my exploration, I came across several issues that I believe need attention. I am a TH-cam expert If you give me permission, I will share some information to increase your channel. Then you get lots of subscribe and views Can I suggest growing your TH-cam channel?
It’s been a while! Happy to see you!
@@ErinEff thanks so much. I’m happy to be here 💛
Thank you for your advice. Right now I need guidance from God because I'm going through exhaustion and burnout. I'm praying to God to show me a sign. I'm 55 years old, live in Montreal and work in a daycare. At this point, I feel like I need a change and I'm seeking guidance and advice. I know God will provide me an answer. It's just a matter of time and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 stay safe, God bless you ❤🙏
@@Lara-bn5fp 💛I am a believer too and I know he will give you the answer. Stay still and listen to his quiet answer. I am 51 and have been pivoting to a slower, calmer way of life- your life matters more that the stress of the job. I know your answer is coming soon. I wish you all the very best and perhaps, you will venture to own your business model.
stunning miss sue! feels so warm
@@lifeonmars478 thanks so much 🍃💚
This video is so inspiring, I love your set up!
@@storksontheloose thank you so much 😊
What a beautiful inviting environment
Thank you so very much 🍃
This is so great! I’m in the process of becoming registered for a family home daycare. We farm here and I’m excited to take littles on this journey!
Congratulations 🎉 and welcome 🤗 I’d love to hear how the children enjoy your farm and the many activities you implement from your experiences. Again big congrats on being a home child care provider 🥰

I recently found your TH-cam page. I love watching and learning from you. I have had a licensed home daycare for 33 years.
Thank you, and welcome in. A thousand congratulations on being a wonderful provider for 33years that’s very exciting and it shows your commitment to young children 🥰🤩
Thank you for this
You’re welcome 😍
Beautiful space! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much 🌸🌞
Mrs. Sue, you're my role model 🙌🏿🩷
Ahh! - thank you! You’re so kind 🌸🥰
Awesome setup! Question, do you take the children on field trips to get out of the house?
Thank you. 😍, yes I do. During Covid we didn’t but, we started back last year. We do it from June - August. Did you know some museums offer discounted membership if you take families with subsidy? We got our children’s museum pass for only $25 and I could also put another daycare provider or family member on the year membership - 🤩 Do you go take yours on field trips?
@@LilBebeAcademy You're welcome and that's great! I didn't realize museums offered that type of discount. I don't own a daycare but I love seeing the creativity that some home daycare owners have. I love it, very inspiring.
Beautiful!
Thank you very much 🌞
Love this!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing
Beautiful daycare space! I run an in home daycare as well and I love it! it's been 4 years since I've opened. Sometimes I think about uploading my daycare progress on youtube
Thank you and congratulations on your daycare business. I am sure many educators will benefit from your progress. Please show your work, your rhythm and flow - it’s beautiful to see other happy providers on the platform. 🥰
5:04 All the best Ms Sue… 😃
Thanks Jackie - same to you 🥰
wow i love love your environment you have set it up with so much love and thought. it flows beautifully and i love how you can do indoor outdoor at the same time. in the main area do you use one of the tables for meals just clear off and then have meals then reset for activities. and do the older children sleep in main play area. sorry for all the questions. i am a family day care educator from Australia working with 4 children a day under school age. i have just found you on socials and will be following you on your journey. have a beautiful day
Howdy 🇦🇺 Thanks so much. I serve 6 children 15months /18months - 4 and sometimes 5 years old. We sleep, eat, play and do a lot in this small space. Yes we clear the table and eat meals in this room. It’s constant cleaning and setting up activities but thats the life of daycare providers 😁. They sleep on cots (not sure if that’s what you use there). I place the cots around the room for 5 kids and in my office sleeps the youngest child (in a pack n play) Welcome in and thanks so much for sharing and asking and staying with us on our journey 😍
Aww the kids sound so sweet 😊 This is awesome, thanks so much for the inspiration.
Thank you very much - they bring me immense joy 🤩
Ive just opened my own daycare this year.this was so inspiring to watch
Thank you & Congratulations on opening your daycare. I wish you the very best, having a detailed handbook and contract of your operations will help you a lot. We have such big hearts and so much love to give children 🥰
So calming and looks adventurous! Thank you for sharing. I’m beginning mines . Thank you for the inspiration ❤
Happy New Year and many thanks Deborah. Congratulations 🎉on starting your daycare, it’s a very rewarding field. Many blessings for 2024 and may you get the children you dream of in your business. 🤩
Very fun space. I finally uploaded my minimalist daycare space video. I go for a more minimalist approach but definitely have room for improvements, especially as I am.nature based too
How wonderful, Congratulations 🎉! Isn’t Nature based amazingly fun learning? I’ll hop over and cheer your video 🥰 Thanks for your encouragement 🤩
Such a beautiful update! Congratulations to you on all your successes and thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank so very much Cindy. May 2024 give you good health and abundance 🍃
I was so excited one of my daycare parent's asked for my wishlist this year! She got us some art supplies and some dress up insect wings.
Yeah!!! - I share your excitement 🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🥰🥰
Oh yeah!! This one hit me with my very first daycare class!! I poured all I had into them and it hurt that I wouldn’t see them day to day, BUT it got better. I’m hoping each year we say good bye to these kids it gets a little better because I feel you for sure!
Kenya, I agree it gets easier over the years and then they are times when it hits hard. I wish I had her longer than 3 months - this little one was a keeper in my heart ❤ The life of Daycare Providers ☀️
I am so impressed. I hope to accomplish such a wonderful cozy and safe learning space myself.
I have all confidence that you will🍃. Thanks very much.
I understand. When I began in 2012 I had a friend from 10 mos to 3 1/2. They were moving out of state. it hurt my heart so bad I asked my husband to walk them out. I couldn't bear to see him walk down the driveway for good.
Aiden, so glad your husband was your support. The attachment is so real! They become families and tugs on our heart ❤️ Love is our language ☀️🍃
Ohh sis! I know how much this hurts, she is such a blessing and a beautiful girl. It’s always hard to say goodbye to the ones that brings so much love and light. Sending lots of hugs 😔😘
Thanks Sis, she’s been a such LIGHT 💡 ❤ + God gave me a beautiful season with her 🍃
Aww I had this late last month. I had a little one, 2 years, 4 months, and she was only with me for 5 months but she was such a sweetie. It was hard to say goodbye.
❤ - Those short stints with the sweet ones jolts our heart for sure. It’s very hard to say goodbye - 5months was short but I’m sure impactful 🤩 (hugs as we share parallel experiences)
0:57 Aww 🥰 Is it Charlotte?
No, Charlotte 🩷left from July, I had her from she was 3 months until 4 years old - I loved on her for many years. This little one that left yesterday, I only had since August - December, only 3 months ❤️🩹
