  CHILDCARE CENTERS
  A licensed Childcare Center is usually located in a commercial building. Licensed facilities also include those operated on school sites and in faith-based settings.  Non-medical care and supervision is provided for infants (birth to 36 months), preschoolers (three to five years old) and/or school age children in a group setting for periods of less than 24 hours.

  A licensed Family Childcare Home must be in the licensee's own home. A Family Childcare Home reflects a home-like environment where non-medical care and supervision is provided for periods of less than 24 hours. The grant is open to Small Family Childcare Homes (providing care for up to 8 children) and Large Family Childcare Homes (providing care for up to 14 children).
