[quote=Anonymous]Hello- Daycare provider here.  The temporary covid rules were just rescinded with a couple of exceptions:

Family and Friend Care: [b]Effective July 20, 2020, unlicensed Family and Friend Care will no longer be allowed.[/b] A family child care home is not required to be registered if the provider: (a) is a relative of each child; (b) is a friend of each child's parent or legal guardian and the care is provided on a non-regular basis of less than 20 hours a month (COMAR 13A.15.02). Family and friend providers wishing to continue to provide child care services should contact their regional licensing office to become a licensed family child care provider. Information on licensing can be found here: https://earlychildhood.marylandpublicschools.org/child-care-providers/licensing

In homes are licensed for 8 children but it's based on the square footage of the home and if the providers has children of their own under 6 years old.   "Large Family Childcare" homes can be up to 12 children (they need assistants).  I know some people do nanny shares here but in Maryland they are illegal and you can be fined if you are reported.

A good resource for you to skim through is https://earlychildhood.marylandpublicschools.org/[/quote]
