Hi hon, I too am about to head down the FDC path, I have been working in long day care for 12years have worked with all ages but mainly with the 3-5year old age group, I am expecting my 2nd child in october and am planning at this stage to start my FDC business early next year depending on how things are going with my own little family, I wish I could be a SAH mum but it just isn't possible for us at this stage of things we need at least some income and also can't justify the cost of 2 children in day care (1 has been hard enough)
thought it might be nice to share the journey together if you are interested let me know what stage you are at I am still currently working full time in LDC and will make my final decision when I am on maternity leave.
good luck, Allie.B
