Answer 1

i'm not sure if it's the same but for 15 years i had my own in home child care.  i was licensed for 10 children and 3 after schoolers.   if i have any information you might find valuable, e me privately and we can chat.

Answer 2

In our state, if you have more than 6 children then yes, you are required to have a helper.  Usually the helper and yourself figure out the meal prep.  It is not financially reasonable to hire a cook along with your helper.

Ages:  I find that the most need is infant and toddler.  Unless you are going to provide an actual preschool program you are going to find that many of your preK students will attend an actual preschool instead of just day care.  Something to consider.  :-)
