The maximum capacity for a large family child care home: 12 children (with a qualified assistant) with no more than four (4) infants (birth - 24 months); or 14 children (with a qualified assistant) with no more than three (3) infants (birth - 24 months), one (1) child enrolled in kindergarten or elementary school and one (1) child at least age six (6) years old including children under age 10 who live in the applicant's home.
