About each permit

Family Day Care Registration

No fee could be located in either the registration form or the licensing rule chapter's own table of contents for either registered family day care or the larger licensed child care program. Registration covers up to 12 children and runs for a two-year certificate; it is mandatory only for a provider receiving public reimbursement, while a smaller provider not taking public funds may register voluntarily. Once a home cares for 13 or more children, it must move from registration into full state licensing rather than registration alone.
