If the provider and the child live in the same home, care may be allowed only when the provider is not the caretaker of the child in the CCAP household. The provider must be licensed.

 

Example 1: A caretaker lives with their child and their mother (grandma) in the same home. The grandma is a licensed provider who provides care from the home. Care can be allowed for the child in the household since grandma is the provider and not a caretaker in the CCAP household.

 

Example 2: A caretaker is a licensed provider that provides care from their home. The caretaker applies for CCAP for their child, listing themselves as the provider. CCAP will not pay for child care costs since the provider is a caretaker of the child in the CCAP household.
