    Unlicensed Child Care Provider are adults, age 18 or older, who are enrolled to provide child care for up to four children at a time (or six children, if all children are siblings or living at the same address). Unlicensed providers can provide care in their own home or the child's home if they are related by blood, marriage or adoption as a:
    • Grandparent/Great-grandparent.
    • Aunt/Great aunt.
    • Uncle/Great uncle.

    Unlicensed Child Care Providers who are not related to the child can only provide care in the child's home.
