Home child care in Coweta County is licensed by the state, not the county. Georgia's Bright from the Start (DECAL) licenses family child care and daycare homes, with capacity tied to license type. Local zoning also applies.
Georgia regulates home-based child care through the Department of Early Care and Learning, known as Bright from the Start (DECAL). A Family Child Care Learning Home license covers care for up to six children; larger group operations require a day care home or center license with additional requirements. Licensing involves background checks, health and safety and CPR/first aid training, and periodic inspections. In unincorporated Coweta County the home must also meet the Zoning and Development Ordinance's home occupation standards, and pickup and drop-off traffic must not disrupt the neighborhood; a larger operation may need special zoning approval. Newnan, Senoia, and the other cities apply their own zoning inside their limits.
Operating a family child care home without the required DECAL license exposes the provider to state enforcement, fines, and an order to stop care until licensed, screened, and inspected. Exceeding capacity requires immediate correction.
