How Do I Become an Informal or Legally-Exempt Child Care Provider? To become an informal or legally-exempt provider, you must complete a legally-exempt child care enrollment form and have the parents or guardians of the children you care for complete and sign the "Parent Information Section" of the form.
To operate a Family Day Care, you must complete an online Orientation Session. Upon completion of the Orientation, you may request an application. After you submit an application, you must attend a 15 hour Health and Safety Training. Applicants must submit all documents and clearances within 90 days.
