Permits up to 10 children to be cared for by a registered family day care provider.

This bill increases the maximum number of children a registered family day care provider can care for from five to ten at one time. It directly affects family day care providers operating from their homes, allowing them to serve more children without relocating to a licensed center. The bill requires providers caring for more than five children to meet all health and safety standards and have at least one additional trained person present during care. It also directs the use of federal child care funds to provide required training for these providers.
