Family Child Care Homes
Care is offered in the home of a caregiver. Small Family Child Care Homes are licensed to care for up to 6-8 children and large Family Child Care Homes are licensed to care for up to 12-14 children.

Child Care Centers
Often referred to as nursery schools or preschool programs, Child Care Centers provide care for children in a large group setting for all or part of the day.

Before and After School Care Programs
These programs are available at many elementary schools, community-based organizations, and other sites for parents who need care for their school-age children before school begins and/or until the end of the work day.

Family, Friends, and Neighbors
License-exempt care is traditionally provided in a home-based setting by a friend, relative, babysitter, or nanny, on either a fully or part-time basis. Parent co-ops and certain public recreation programs may also not be required to be licensed.
