What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, no person may for compensation provide care and supervision for four or more children under seven years of age for less than 24 hours a day unless that person obtains a license to operate a child care center from the Department of Children and Families. Certain persons, however, including parochial schools, are exempt from this requirement. This bill requires a private school that provides such care and supervision for children under three years of age to obtain a license to operate a child care center.
