Fredville's Health and Environment Department permits every child care facility that meets the state's minimum standards for day care operations and for day care food service.
Which permit do I need?
A child care center, also called a day care center, is a commercial site where children younger than 14 receive care and supervision. Every center needs a Childcare Center Permit, and a center that serves food also needs a Childcare Food Service Permit.
A child care family home is the caregiver's own primary residence. A family home may care for up to six children under age 14 plus up to six more school-age children, with no more than 12 children in total at any one time, counting the caregiver's own children. Each family home needs a Childcare Registered Family Home Permit.
Applying for a center permit
Commercial facilities that care for and supervise children under 14 should submit an application for a Childcare Center Permit.
Applying for a family home permit
Caregivers who look after children in their own primary residence should submit an application for a Childcare Family Home Permit.
