LDC §14-6-4 permits family day care homes as a standard home occupation. Sec. 14-6-7(A)(1) and the F.S. §402.302(8) child-count standards govern: up to 6 children (or 10 with two caregivers) including the caregiver's own children under 13.
Florida F.S. §402.302(8) defines a family day care home as up to 10 children: maximum 6 preschoolers (with up to 4 over 2 years old plus 2 infants under 2), or up to 4 from birth to 12 months. Kissimmee §14-6-7(A)(9) allows up to 20 daily vehicle trips for family day care (vs. 10 for standard home occupations). §14-6-7(A)(14) gives the Fire Department and Building Division inspection rights for licensing. State family day care home registration with the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) is required under F.S. §402.313. Background screening, immunization records, and CPR/first aid certification are state requirements.
Operating an unregistered family day care is a F.S. §402.313 violation — first-degree misdemeanor with DCF fines up to $500. Local BTR violations under Sec. 1-22(b)(11) — $250.
