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.

Got my background check and CPR training complete quicker than expected, thanks to LSDL. Their staff training is top-notch, really prepped my team well. Highly recommend!



After trying several training programs, Louisiana State Daycare Launch really stands out. Their staff prep exceeds expectations, and the business insights truly paved the way for success. Thinking of opening a second location for a friend at her house.



The branding strategies from Louisiana State Daycare Launch truly set my center apart. Efficient, clear-cut process with noticeable results. Worth the investment in myself.
