Q. If other children are present in the home accompanied by their OWN parent ( providers child’s friend visiting if parent stays, family member visiting with their child, parent and child coming for an interview, etc.) do those children count in the providers numbers?
A. Yes. All children on the premises count in your numbers.
Same here too.
Children of house guest count. Own children's play dates after school or in summer count. And so do client interview children. This why I schedule interview for immediately after day care or in nap if not all children in that day.
