Kaneohe family child care homes serve three to six unrelated children under HRS Sec. 346-151 and operate under ROH Sec. 21-5.350 with allowances for substitute caregivers.
Family child care homes in Kaneohe are licensed by the Hawaii Department of Human Services under HRS Chapter 346, Part VIII, which also preempts many local requirements. The state definition caps enrollment at three to six unrelated children in the caregiver's private residence. Local LUO rules in ROH 21-5.350 allow substitute caregivers who are not members of the household, an exception not available to most other home occupations. Operators must meet DHS health, safety, and background check standards. Given Kaneohe's mix of single-family lots and townhomes, HOA or condo CC&Rs may also apply and should be reviewed separately.
Unlicensed operation, over-enrollment, or unapproved caregivers can lead to DHS license actions and city zoning citations.
