What are the requirements for the location of a family home child care?
(1) Your home must be located in an area that is well drained, and is free from hazardous conditions. Some examples of hazards are natural or manmade water hazards such as lakes or streams, ponds, steep banks, ravines, and drainage ditches. Abandoned wells and holes must be filled in or sealed. (2) The safety of the children in care is essential. You must discuss with your licensor any potential hazardous conditions, considering the children’s ages, behaviors, and abilities. (3) If we decide that hazardous conditions are present at the home location you must write a supervision plan for the children in care.
