Are you certain that those costs have not been exaggerated? The reason I ask is that I own and operate a day care center out of my home for my "real" daytime job, and thus am required to have a thorough fingerprint background search done. This is a one-time cost of $27 here in the state of Georgia. I also have to have background searches done (no fingerprints) on any adults present in my home while the children are present, and the cost for this is significantly less, though I don't have that figure available at this time.
