About each permit
Child Care Centre License
A capacity-banded fee running from $15 a year for a facility serving up to seventeen children, through $50 for seventeen to ninety-nine, up to $100 for a hundred or more — modest at every tier compared with most states' child care fees. One caution on currency: the regulation these figures come from carries an older codification, and Arkansas has since issued newer recodifications of its child care rules that could not be checked to confirm the same fee bands survived unchanged, so confirm the current figures with the agency before relying on them for a large centre.
