| Guidance: If the child has had more than one provider type during the reporting period, select the last known provider. Provider types are broken up into two broad categories of licensed/regulated and legally operating (no license category available in state or locality). Under each of these categories are four types of providers: in-home, family home, group home, and centers. (See columns (b) through (l).) Licensed or regulated provider = Provider legally regulated or licensed by State or local public agency or through a State's designated licensing or regulatory agent. Legally operating provider (license category not available) = For reporting purposes, a legally operating, unregulated provider is one which, if not participating in the CCDF program, would not be subject to any state or local child care regulations. According to section 98.2(x) of the Child Care Development Block Grant regulations, "Licensing or regulatory requirements means requirements necessary for a provider to legally provide child care services in a state or locality, including registration requirements established under state, local or tribal law...." Child's Home = Care provided by a caregiver in the child's home. Family Home = Care provided in a family child care home. Group Home = Care provided in a group child care home (as differentiated from a family child care home by the grantee.) Center = Care provided in a center-based setting, including programs in schools. Relative = A provider who is a grandparent, great-grandparent, aunt or uncle, or sibling living outside the child's home. | ||
