Contact your local city hall, they will have someone that will help you with the rules and regulations regarding daycares.

I have read different stories on how different municipalities or states/Provinces have different requirements as they pertain to registered daycares (which you will want to be).

Some things that I have seen as requirements:

Police statement regarding your record
Insurance
Inspected premises
Early Childhood Educator's license.

Etc.

This is one site designed to help with setting up a daycare and chances are you'll find a lot of info on what you are up against, but verify these rules and regs with your local administrators: http://www.ccld.ca.gov/PG411.htm

Good luck.
