Child Care.

Existing law requires the State Department of Social Services to establish a trustline registry for trustline providers who met prescribed requirements. Existing law defines trustline provider as a person 18 years of age or older who provides child care, supervision, or any person providing in-home educational or counseling services to a minor, and who is not required to be licensed as a child day care provider. Existing law, commencing January 1, 2011, provides that a person who provides care or supervision in an ancillary day care center, as defined, shall be registered as a trustline provider, and specifically defines trustline provider as also meaning a person who provides care or child care supervision in an ancillary day care center, other than the parent, or guardian of the child receiving the care. This bill would, instead, provide that, commencing January 1, 2011, a person 18 years of age or over who provides care or supervision in an ancillary day care center, shall be registered as a trustline provider. It would specifically provide that nothing in the trustline provider provisions shall be construed to prevent a person under 18 years of age from being employed in an ancillary day care center.
