Can an ASES Program operate without a childcare program license?
Yes. EC Section 8484.3 (b) provides certain exemptions to the Healthy and Safety Code regulating childcare licensing. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or regulation, an ASES program operated by a city, county, or nonprofit organization may operate for up to 30 hours per week without obtaining a license or special permit under Chapter 3.4 (commencing with Section 1596.70) or Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 1596.90) of Division 2 of the Health and Safety Code. It is important to make sure that your program will be in compliance with any state laws. Please refer to the Child Care Licensing Division of the California Department of Social Services at http://www.ccld.ca.gov (Outside Source) for more information.
