Legally Exempt Enrollment Services

Child Care Solutions provides assistance and support for legally-exempt (informal) caregivers. Legally-exempt (informal) caregivers provide child care for families receiving subsidies and are exempt from the family child care licensing process by caring for no more than two non- related children fulltime. If a provider is caring for children part-time, up to three hours or less, then there is no limit of un-related children. When care is provided for more than three hours, the total number of related and un-related children cannot exceed eight.
