Definition
Programs that provide supervised care for children in licensed private family homes during some portion of a 24-hour day. The number of children is restricted according to state regulations and is also sensitive to the age ranges of the children (e.g., a private home may be able to look after five preschool children but not five infants). Family day care homes above a certain size may also be required to employ a qualified aide and meet safety regulations such as fire inspections.
