2024-04-27

53.1. If present while childcare is being provided, children under nine years of age who are the home educational childcare provider’s own children, children of the provider’s assistant, if applicable, as well as children under nine years of age who ordinarily live with the provider or with the assistant are included, for the purpose of the calculation of the number of children to whom the provider and assistant may provide childcare under sections 52 and 53. The same applies with respect to their grandchildren.

However, the children and grandchildren of the persons referred to in the first paragraph are not included for the purpose of that calculation if the children are present in the following circumstances:

(1)  the child is present only outside school hours, on days on which the child receives preschool education services or elementary school instructional services provided for by the Education Act (chapter I-13.3); or

(2)  the child participates, in a place other than in the residence, in an activity beginning in the morning and continuing in the afternoon and is present only outside the hours of that activity.

For the purposes of this section, “grandchild” means the home educational childcare provider’s own grandchild or their assistant’s grandchild, the grandchild of a person ordinarily living with the provider or with the assistant as well as the child of a person who ordinarily lives with their child in a place other than the residence where the childcare services are provided.
