          Expand Your Existing Child Care Program

          There are multiple ways to expand your child care business. Changing from one type of license to another will require applying for a new license. 4C for Children can help you understand and meet the licensing requirements!

          Understanding Types of Expansion

          These expansions types may or may not require changing your license:

          • Care for children with special needs
          • Adding or expanding infant/toddler, preschool or school-age care
          • Expanding your hours of operation to include non-traditional hours:
            • Weekday evenings and overnight care between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.
            • Weekends between Saturday 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. Monday
            • Holidays

          Additional Funding

          4C for Children may also have funding to help expand your business. Funding is for specific geographic locations and for certain program types.
