Section 12 CCR 2509-4-7.302 - CHILD WELFARE CHILD CARE [Rev. eff. 4/1/12]

Child Welfare Child Care is a service to maintain children in their own homes or in the least restrictive out-of-home care when there are no other child care options available. Child Welfare Child Care is not twenty-four (24) hour care.

Child care services for school-age children during regular school hours must be different from, and cannot be substituted for, educational services that school districts are required to provide under the Colorado Exceptional Children's Act.
