By The Children's Foundation , Ed.
August 2002

Summary: This report presents findings from the 2002 state child care regulatory agency survey to update and expand the family child care regulatory information published in the 2001 family child care licensing study. The report’s introduction presents the study’s methodology, defines study terminology, and lists family child care regulatory requirements for each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. A summary of the study’s survey questions and responses, including responses regarding number of family child care providers within states, regulation and caregiver requirements, provider/child ratios, and tiered reimbursement is also listed. Following the introduction, each state’s and territory’s family child care regulatory profiles and requirements are presented. Information on small, group, and large family child care homes is organized into 23 categories, including: number of regulated homes; definitions and regulatory requirements; provider qualifications; environmental policy; before and after school, infant, special needs, and sick care programs; tiered reimbursement for subsidized children; local contacts; and pending/new legislation. Contact information for each state’s and territory’s family child care regulatory agencies concludes the report.
