Child care centres Outside school hours care Family day care Definition of family day care ... Home Family day care Family day care is a child care service provided in a private dwelling in a family or domestic environment. Family day care provides care for a small group of children of predominately preschool age. A family day care service may be supported by a coordinating scheme. The scheme selects and supports licensed carers and monitors the quality of care. A family day care service may also operate without being a member of a scheme. This is generally referred to as a private family day care. Carers are licensed and must adhere to the same Regulations as those members of a coordinating scheme. A family day care service caring predominately for children of preschool age (below school age) is required to be licensed and to comply with the Community Services (Child Care) Regulations 1988. From 28 August 2003 it is illegal to provide child care for school age children in a private home without obtaining a licence or permit. A person providing 'school age family day care' must comply with the Community Services (Outside School Hours Care) Regulations 2002. Any person caring for school age children for payment or reward in a private home, prior to 28 August 2003, must have registered with the Department for Community Development by 27 November 2003. All registered school age family day care providers must obtain a licence or permit by 27 August 2005. A registered school age family day care service provider must comply with the Regulations as far as practicable during this registration period.

96. INTRODUCTION STATEMENT OF REASONS. The Administrative Rules for child Day care licensing are intended to provide consumer protection for each child in care. http://dfsweb.state.wy.us/daycare/introdc.htm

STATEMENT OF REASONS The Administrative Rules for Child Day Care Licensing are intended to provide consumer protection for each child in care. By meeting these regulations, a child day care provider/director is taking the first steps to operating a safe facility. Licensing of a child day care facility means that the facility and staff have met the Department of Family Services minimum standards for operation. These rules are the result of a long process of research, writing and comment. Contributors to these rules are Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Wyoming Departments of Agriculture, Health, and Fire Prevention/Electrical Safety, local and county health professionals, National Association for the Education of Young Children, Wyoming Child Care Certification Board, child day care providers/directors throughout the state, nutrition programs, day care organizations, interested parents, and research of day care rules of other states. Ultimately, parents are responsible for finding quality child day care. These rules will assist in that search, but the final determination of choosing a child day care rests with the parents. One of the factors to be considered in making the choice of which child day care to use should be the level at which the facility meets the licensing rules. Changes have been made to reflect statutory changes in age of majority, exemptions from licensure, length of time for which a license can be issued, and to establish licensing fees. Other changes include changing the name of the agency which is the certifying authority from Department of Public Assistance and Social Services to Department of Family Services, simplification of rules, change in classification of types of facilities, inclusion of fire and sanitation inspections for all licensed facilities, uniformity of requirements between types of facilities and clarification of agency roles within the licensing process. The structure of the rules has also been changed to reflect the simplification in rules, relocating many sections to one General Rules Chapter to avoid unnecessary repetition.
