What are the types of licensed child care?

There are three types of licensed providers for which the Department of Early Education & Care license sets rules for health, safety and staffing. A licensed provider should also help children learn and grow, and promote a good relationship between parent and child. Their current license must be posted.

Group Child Care or Center Based Programs: This license is for all center-based care for infants, toddlers, or preschoolers. Infant/Toddler; Nursery school; Head Start; Transition and private Kindergarten programs may offer half or full day programs.

Family Child Care: Care is given in a provider's home for up to six children including the provider's own children.

Large Family Child Care: This type of family child care allows for up to 10 children in the home of the provider with an approved assistant.

School Age Child Care: These programs are often called extended day or after school programs, and are open before and/or after school and/or during school vacations.

I consider you’ve created some genuinely exciting points. Not too most people would in reality consider about this the way you simply did. I’m really impressed that there’s a lot about this topic that’s been uncovered and you also did it so tremendously, with a lot class.
