Lexington family child care homes may care for up to 6 unrelated children under 922 KAR 2:100. A $10 state certification fee and local zoning approval are required.
Home daycare operations in Lexington are regulated by both state certification and local zoning requirements. Under Kentucky 922 KAR 2:100, a certified family child care home may care for up to 6 unrelated children at any one time, plus up to 4 related children for a maximum capacity of 10. An assistant must be present when caring for more than 4 infants or more than 6 children under age 6. Certification through the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services requires a completed application (form OIG-DRCC-03), a $10 nonrefundable fee, background checks per 922 KAR 2:280, a physician statement confirming the provider is free of active tuberculosis, and written documentation of compliance with local zoning requirements. In Lexington, family child care homes are allowed as conditional uses in residential zones, meaning providers must obtain approval from the Board of Adjustment. The provider must show the home meets safety, fire, and health standards. The Division of Regulated Child Care under the Office of Inspector General oversees ongoing compliance and inspections.
