Licensed childcare providers for Clinton County, PA

TYPES OF CHILD CARE


FAMILY DAY CARE

The largest percentage of children are cared for in family day care homes, especially infants and children under 3. In Pennsylvania, homes with more than three unrelated children follow state regulations.

GROUP DAY CARE

Group day care is child care provided in a home setting for 6 to 12 children. When there are more than six children present, two caregivers are necessary. Group homes are subject to many of the same regulations that govern centers and they must renew their license each year.

CENTER CARE

Child care centers accommodate groups of children, including infants, preschoolers and mixed ages. The number of children depends on the size of the center. Centers follow state mandated regulations.
