Does Having an LLC Give You Tax Breaks and Write-Offs?

YES. 100% yes — and it’s one of the smartest moves you can make.

When you start caring for kids from home, you instantly become a business, even if you are license-exempt.
But when you form an
LLC, you unlock several major benefits:


1. You Get WAY More Tax Write-Offs

With an LLC, you can write off a portion of almost everything you use for the daycare:

Home Expenses

You can write off the percentage of your home used for childcare:

Rent / mortgage

Utilities (water, electric, gas)

Internet

Trash

Home repairs related to daycare

Cleaning supplies

Pest control

Daily Childcare Supplies

Toys

Books

Learning materials

Snacks

Curriculum

Arts & crafts

Cleaning wipes

Paper towels

Furniture / Equipment

Shelves

Playpens

Tables

Mats

Cribs

Storage bins

Business Expenses

Marketing

Website

Phone line

CRM (your GHL Home Base System)

Software

Printer

Paper

You still get some write-offs as a sole proprietor…
but LLCs get MORE and BETTER deductions.


✅ 2. You Protect Yourself from Liability

If a child gets injured or a parent makes a claim:

YOU are not personally responsible

only the LLC is

This protects:

your bank account

your house

your personal assets

In childcare, this is a big deal.


3. It Looks MORE Professional to Parents

Parents trust daycares that appear:

organized

registered

professional

structured

“real”

When a mom sees an invoice from:

“Little Steps Learning LLC”

vs

“Ashley’s Babysitting”

She will pay MORE.
She will trust you MORE.
She will stay LONGER.


4. It Helps When You Apply for Licensing Later

When you move from license-exempt → licensed:

Louisiana wants to see:

structure

stability

organization

Having an LLC makes your file look clean and serious.


Bottom Line

YES — forming an LLC saves you money, protects you legally, and lets you charge higher rates.

It’s not required to start license-exempt…
but it is absolutely recommended after you get your first 3–4 children enrolled.
