does it mean to be registered as a family day care provider?
Georgia law requires a person providing family day care for pay for
three to six children who are not related to the child care provider and
who are not members of the provider’s household, to be registered under
the procedures established by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.)
Sec.49-5-1 et seq. Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early
Care and Learning registers and monitors family day care providers under
the Rules and Regulations for Family Day Care Homes Chapter 290-2-3.
A registration system that has been established by Bright from the Start
enables family day care homes to come into compliance with the Family
Day Care Rules and Regulations. A provider checks his/her home for
compliance and certifies that he/she will maintain compliance with the
Rules and Regulations for Family Day Care Homes.
The provider, all other adults who live in the home, and any other adult
who assists the provider must undergo a criminal background check.
A Certificate of Registration is
then issued by Bright from the Start. The provider is required to
re-register annually (is kept on site for your review).
