There
are basically two types of child care facilities: The
Child Care Center or Home Family Care.
CHILD CARE CENTER
A child care center is normally operated outside the licensee’s
home and provides nonmedical care and supervision to infants,
toddlers, preschoolers and/or school-age children for periods
of less than 24 hours per day. These centers are usually
in commercial buildings.
FAMILY
CHILD CARE HOME
A family
child care home is operated in the licensee’s own home and
provides nonmedical care and supervision to 14 or fewer children
in a homelike environment for less than 24 hours per day.
HOW
TO GET STARTED
