WHAT TYPE OF PROVIDER ARE YOU?

• Family child care: offered in the home of the provider. May provide care for up to six (6) children at any given time. Registration or licensure is required if a person provides care to more than one unrelated family of children on a regular basis (more than two days a week and more than four hours a day).
• Group child care: Applies to facilities operating with a capacity from seven (7) to twelve (12) children. May care for eight (8)
  children without an additional caregiver. When the attendance reaches nine or there are more than three children under the age of 24 months, an additional caregiver must be present at all times. In addition, there must be an emergency backup person available that is not included in the staff to child ratio. A Group Child Care Home may be in a residence or a separate building. If you reside in a mobile home, you may contact the State Fire Marshal's office (803-896-9800) to discuss if the structure meets Fire Codes.
• Child Care Center: Applies to facilities operating with a capacity of 13 or more children. Must be licensed or approved if the
  program operates more than four hours a day and more than two days a week. Programs that operate less than four hours a day may keep children during school vacations and holidays and be exempt from licensing. Some centers are owned by private, for-profit businesses and some are operated by non-profit entities such as religious groups, parent boards or hospitals.
