Dear Dr. Schwartz:
The CT Department of Public Health is required by state statute(CGS sec. 19a-87b)to license family day
care homes.
A family day care home consists of a private family home caring for not more than six children, including
the provider's own children not in school full time,where the children are cared for not less than three nor
more than twelve hours during a twenty-four-hour period and where care is given on a regularly recurring
basis, except that care may be provided in excess of twelve hours but not more than seventy-two
consecutive hours to accommodate a need for extended care or intermittent short-term overnight care.
During the regular school year, a maximum of three additional children who are in school full time,
including the provider's own children, are permitted, except that if the provider has more than three
children who are in school full time, all of the provider's children are permitted.
The above referenced individual has applied to the Department for a family day care home license, and
has an application pending approval. Family day care homes are not subject to any conditions on the
operation of the home by local officials if the home complies with all local codes and ordinances
applicable to single and multifamily dwellings. Local health departments are not required to inspect
family day care homes as part of the licensing process. However, DPH would like to inform you of
pending family day care applications in your area, and give you the opportunity to comment on the
application. You may wish to bring to our attention any public health issues at the local level that may
need to be considered in the licensing process for this applicant.
If you wish to comment, please call me at 860-509-8045, 800-282-6063 or 800-439-0437. You may send
written comments to my attention at:
