Licensing rules loom for Thomasville nursery care
A reader asks how many children a Thomasville nursery can keep without a license as 13 children are present and fees are charged weekly whether or not children attend. New admission rules state six or more children require a license from 1973 and all providers must register by 1972, even if under six. The licensing board has not announced registration details, and private fees remain between parent and operator. Consider nurseries offering daily attendance if absenteeism concerns arise.
