Where can I go to find out the basic requirements for starting a center or home-based (“family”) child care program?
• Refer to the Child Care Center Licensing Process page for a step-by-step outline for licensing a center. • Refer to the Family Child Care Licensing Process page for a step-by-step outline for licensing a home-based program. • Your local child care Resource and Referral Agency (R&R) can give you information about the next Licensing Orientation meeting, usually the third Thursday of the month. Call to confirm. • Come to the Orientation meeting prepared! First, download the Family Child Care Home Licensing Regulation Highlights – in English, the Family Child Care Home Licensing Regulation Highlights – in Spanish, or the Child Care Center Regulation Highlights. Then, for family child care, print all of the forms contained in the Application Instructions for a Family Child Care Home License (LIC 279A). There are seven total forms.
