If a person cares for 7 to 12 child care children at a time, the home would need to be licensed as a "group child care home."

  • A safe and caring setting,
  • Consistent, skilled caregivers who participate in ongoing training,
  • A stimulating and diverse learning environment,
  • Child-directed curriculum planning,
  • Activities appropriate for each child’s age and stage,
  • Hands-on, active learning opportunities,
  • Continual, positive communication with children and their families.

  • And promote healthy, cognitive, emotional, physical and social development.
