I just attended a child care orientation today and learned a few new things. One thing I found interesting is the infant age is moving from under 24 months down to 18 months on October 1, 2010. This doesn't affect family based child care because you're limited to a certain number of children no matter what, but it affects group and centers more because they can have more infants. Another thing I found interesting was that if you're getting licensed AFTER October 1, 2010--you will no longer be required to even do a TB and all employees in child care will no longer be required to do a TB upon starting their career. I guess the $38 fees for the employees added up or something for this to take effect, but I still don't understand why they will not require it anymore. Just thought I would share this information, please add to it if you heard anything. (This might just be my county, but it didn't sound like it--was very tired at the meeting this morning!)
