State-Mandated 3-Hour Family Child Care Module
The 3-Hour Fundamental Child
Care Course is designed to give an overview of caring for children in a
home care setting. Any person providing informal
child care services for a family must take this course. It is also required
for emergency substitutes for all family child care homes, registered
or licensed.
The informal provider is someone who provides care for children
from one family who is not registered or licensed but who is exempted from
the requirements. The emergency substitute must have this course before
beginning occasional substituting in the family child care home. If substituting
exceeds 40 hours per month, the 30-hour Family Child Care must be taken
instead. See schedule below.
