Family Child Care Homes must comply with all state laws, federal laws and local ordinances that pertain to child health, safety, and welfare of children (GS110-91-Mandatory standards for a license). Please take time to review chapter 9 in the rule book under FCCH. 3. You may care for no more than five preschool children at any time. Your capacity must never exceed eight (8) children on the 1st shift. 4. Children must be visually supervised while always awake and able to be heard while at rest. You may never leave your home to go outside or go behind closed doors from the children without ensuring they are appropriately supervised. 5. We also discussed making sure you monitor outdoors daily for unwarranted debris and that can cause a safety concerns. 6. Please make sure you go through your children’s file thoroughly, making sure that each line item (question) is being answered. This will ensure that you have read and received all required documents to be on file. 7. Best practice to make sure there is no plastic accessible to children under the age of 36 months in care.
