Are child care services terminated if a family temporarily does not need them?
No. The family may be granted a Limited Term Service Leave, which is a leave of absence of up to 12 consecutive weeks. In the case of medical or maternity reasons, a leave of up to 16 consecutive weeks may be granted. During the Limited Term Service Leave, the provider will not receive payment and is not required to hold the child’s space in the child care program during the time the family is on leave.
