But she ran into some local obstacles, Rodriguez told me in an interview in Spanish. She obtained a state-issued license to operate a home-based day care with space for 10 children — which is a process that involves mandatory trainings and a background check, among other requirements . Then Rodriguez realized she also needed a city permit. That's when she learned that Revere's regulations for family day cares are more restrictive than the state's standards. For instance, Revere requires that home-based child-care providers not have more than four children enrolled, whereas the state issues family day-care licenses for up to 10 children.
