Eastvale, CA Home Business: Home Daycare (2026)

Sec. 40, it recognizes that the legislature has declared family day care homes a matter of statewide concern and that the state "occupies the field" on restricting single-family residences used for family day care. " A "large family day care home" is a home providing care for no fewer than seven and no more than 14 children, including children under ten who reside there (up to 16 under specified state conditions per Sec. 010); a "small" home covers six or fewer. 2-1, lists "Family Day Care, Large" as a permitted use across most of the city's residential zones, cross-referenced to this section.

To get the permit, the operator must hold a valid state license, be on a residentially zoned site, provide at least two off-street parking spaces (no more than one in a garage or carport), confine loading and unloading to the driveway, approved parking area or curb directly in front, comply with state fire marshal rules, and meet current pool and spa fencing, gate-latch and alarm code if the site has one. A large home closer than 300 feet property-line-to-property-line from another large home needs planning commission conditional use permit approval rather than the administrative permit; the community development director otherwise decides within 45 days of a complete application. No more than 14 children total may be cared for, and only one family day care home is allowed per parcel.
