Description:
Each State has a minimum number of children in care (i.e., threshold) that determines when a license is required. The following table shows that 10 States require family child care (FCC) homes to be licensed if there is just one child in care that is not related to the provider. The remaining 41 States allow some number of children to be in FCC that is not covered by licensing. Most States set the licensing threshold at three or four children. This information was compiled from the regulations posted on the National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care and Early Education (NRC) Web site in 2014 (author abstract)
