* This memo says group size in room as 10 max, but for family daycares it's for the entire home.

I don't know how long the 10 person max will last.

Thanks.

Oddly, that seems inconsistent with the other guidance they have. For example, in the "Companion Document for Temporary Waived Regulations" it talks about family child care homes having 10 school-age children.

That was back in March. The limits were placed later.

Thanks for posting this. Can you tell us where the language is regarding home daycares? I've searched the links and cannot find anything about a 10 person max for home daycares.

In the FAQs PDF I see that "family providers" can care for up to 8 kids at one time, assuming they are licensed. I assume a family provider is the same as a home daycare...?

We have been told a 10 person limit per home over the phone and I’ve looked through my files but I can’t find a memo that says it to share with you.

My in-home provider also told me today that there is a 10-person total limit for the entire house including all family members, providers and daycare kids.

Does anyone know what changes based on Hogan's announcement today? I see that capacity limits have increased to 15 people per room for (I'm guessing) centers. But what about home daycares?

There is a 15 person per family home limit. They increased it by five people.
