Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:

Background checks of everyone in your home. Insurance and fire inspection.
Apply for WIC for the children for lunch.
Take childhood course at your local community college they have certificate programs. Depending on your state you may have to take tests at a STATE agency, my state is strict.
Good luck and start the process. Call your local Dept. of Social Service and ask them whom do you call or what website has the information for you to view before getting started! They will help you.
