I’m trying to find out how part-time children are calculated in the numbers. Does anyone have any insight? For example: if I watch a child for only 3 days a week and another for only 1 day, does that count as 1 child?

Do you mean as far as ratios go?
For example I am licensed for 12 children.
I have 12 SPACES or SLOTS per day.
However, I have 16 children on my enrollment roster.
Some only attend 2-3 days a week.
As long as I never have more than 12 children in attendance I am legally within my licensing ratios.
So yes, in your scenario above you can have Billy attend 3 days a week (let's say M,W,F) and have Sally attend 2 days a week (Tues/Thurs) and be fine.
Both Sally and Billy share that ONE SLOT but are two different children.
Hope that makes sense and that it is what you were asking...

As long as you only have the number of children you are allowed each day you can have as many kids as you want/need to fill spaces.Comment

In my state, it works the same way. As long as I don't go over ratio for the day, I can have as many kids enrolled as I want.Comment

Yes!!! The bold is how my program enrollment works (they can enroll in both groups for a M-F program)Do you mean as far as ratios go?

As a provide that only offers PT care I would caution against you offering care for a child one day per week, I would suggest a minimum of two days per week.Comment
