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

Visit the 4C Resource Library for Starting a Child Care Program to help you navigate through the process.
