What is the difference between a child care center and a family child care provider?
Centers are non-residential facilities where they enroll more than 12 children at a time. The children are generally split up by age group into different classrooms. See child care center licensing regulations. Family child care providers care for children in their own homes. They usually care for children up to age 12 and there are generally a variety of age groups enrolled. See family provider regulations.
