Starting home daycare? Chapel Hill, NC.?

So my mom and I live in a very nice neighborhood in Chapel Hill, NC and we she is looking to become licensed for an in home daycare/center. Preferably a center because you can be licensed for up to 12 kids per adult and with a JUST home daycare you cannot have more than 5.

Anyways, I was wondering what would be reasonable to charge for childcare, when she would be available whenever the children needed care and she will be doing overnights if needed as well.
We DO live in a rather wealthy area and UNC hospital is 5 minutes down the road so some business WOULD be doctors/med students.

Also, what exactly is the demand for child care? Not just in this area but around the country anywhere, is it high? can we expect to be at full capacity (12 kids), mid (6-7) or low (5 and below)?

THANK YOU!

Also, how hard exactly is the process to get licensed? We have plenty of space and a converted 2 car garage for them, a large fenced yard and lots of toys.

I have heard prices ranging from $85 a week to $150 a week are pretty normal, depending on the adult to child ratio. People usually pay more for younger children, but at least in Georgia the legal ratios of adults to children increase with age. Only 4 infants per adult, whereas 12 preteens per adult.

There is a high demand for childcare, but parents want the centers to be very close to them, they want to like the people in charge of the children, and they want low teacher - child ratios.

I don't know how hard it is to get licensed. I am currently a full time nanny, and am considering a home daycare with just 2 charges so that I do not have to get licensed.

This might help too.
