In addition to the information explained by @xmasbaby0, it is important to note that if your state requires you to have a license for a "daycare", you may not be able to deduct your "home office" expenses (the percentage of your home used for the daycare). This would apply to deducting a portion of your utilities as well. I am not sure what state you are located in, but it is recommended to check your state laws on license requirement if you choose to go this route.
