32 | “Family Day Care” or “Family Child Care” refers to the regular provision of care, protection, and supervision of children in the caregiver’s own home for periods of less than 24 hours per day while parents or authorized representatives are away. The term “Family Child Care” replaces “Family Day Care” as used in previous regulations. “Home” means the licensee’s residence as defined in Government Code Section 244.
Provider Presence Requirement
The provider must be present at least 80% of the time while care is being provided, as stated in the following regulation:
Operation of a Family Child Care Home – 102417(a)
The licensee shall be present in the home and shall ensure that children in care are supervised at all times. When circumstances require the licensee to be temporarily absent, the licensee must arrange for a substitute adult to care for and supervise the children during the absence. Temporary absences shall not exceed 20% of the facility’s daily operating hours.
Reporting Requirements – 102416.2(a)(2)
Any change in household composition must be reported, including adults moving into or out of the home, and any individual living in the home who turns 18 years old.
Inspection Authority of the Department – 102391(a)
Any duly authorized officer, employee, or agent of the Department may, upon presentation of proper identification, enter and inspect any location providing personal care, supervision, and services at any time, with or without advance notice, to ensure compliance with regulations governing family child care homes and in accordance with Section 102396.
During this meeting, the applicant was informed that once a license is issued, the licensee must operate separately from any other provider, regardless of family relationships, and that enrolled children must remain at the licensed facility during daycare hours. Parents of enrolled children must be fully informed of, and clearly understand, who the licensee and caregiver are for the children in care.
Children may not move between licensed facilities during daycare hours, and children enrolled under separate licenses may not be co-mingled.
Per applicant, he will submit corrected declaration by end of this week. Applicant also stated they understand regulations stated on the report.
