Ewa Gentry family child care homes caring for three to six unrelated children are defined and licensed under HRS Sec. 346-151 by the Hawaii Department of Human Services, with local zoning support from ROH Sec. 21-5.350.
State law preempts much of the regulation of in-home child care. HRS 346-151 defines a family child care home as a private residence caring for three to six unrelated children, licensed through DHS under HRS Chapter 346 Part VIII. Ewa Gentry residents also rely on ROH Sec. 21-5.350, which treats licensed family child care as a home occupation and allows a limited substitute caregiver exception to the household-member employee rule. Providers must meet state licensing standards for health, safety, and staffing, and maintain the residential character of the property in their subdivision.
Operating an unlicensed child care home, exceeding the six-child cap, or violating substitute caregiver limits can result in DHS enforcement and loss of licensure.
