I discovered that an individual needs to be licensed to provide childcare and early education services in their family’s home if the child is “not a relative”. And I did not know that caring for children under 12 for more than 4 hours per day also requires a license. The WAC requirements do not surprise me as they are necessary standards to protect the safety of children. The WAC will impact my daily childcare activities to create a professional educational environment and ensure proper child safety regulations.
