SECTION 745.373. May I have more than one licensed child-care home?

(a) Except as described in subsection (b) of this section, you may not have more than one licensed child-care home, because a primary caregiver must provide care in the caregiver's own residence.

(b) If you were licensed to operate more than one group day-care home prior to September 1, 2003, you may continue to operate two or more licensed child-care homes as long as the license remains valid and you meet the following conditions:

(1) Your facilities are at separate locations;

(2) You maintain your operations separately; and

(3) You do not move children back and forth between the two licensed child-care homes.
