Answer 1

This is according to the Department of Human Resources:

Child Care Institutions

Definition:

Any child-welfare facility which either primarily or incidentally provides full-time room, board and watchful oversight to six or more children through 18 years of age outside of their own homes.

Answer 2

I believe you do have to be licensed.   The limit even licensed is 6 kids for pay.  Call DFACS and ask for sure.  You don't have to give your name.
