Can a Caregiver be Exempt from Child Care Licensing?
Can a Caregiver be Exempt from Child Care Licensing? Friday October 28, 2005A parent emailed me with a question as to whether a caregiver can be exempt from child care licensing. The answer is yes, under certain circumstances. As a parent or provider, the key is to review what your child care situation is and whether being exempt is satisfactory or appropriate. Being exempt from child care licensing means the child care is not inspected for health and safety, does not require background checks (although that is still an option), and ratios may differ for staffing. Training requirements are also less or non-existent. Licensing varies by state, but the best answer is to check out the options first and know your facts before making a decision.
