Permits up to 10 children to be cared for by a registered family day care provider.

This bill amends New Jersey's Family Day Care Provider Registration Act (P.L.1987, c.27) to increase the maximum number of children a registered family day care provider can care for from five to ten at one time. It directly affects registered family day care providers operating from their homes, allowing them to serve more children while remaining under the existing registration system. The change modifies the definition of a "family day care home" in the law, specifying that registered providers may care for up to 10 children (excluding legally related children or those in employment agreements with providers). This is a concrete policy adjustment to capacity limits for home-based child care providers, not a new licensing requirement.
