⭐ 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.
