If I host a birthday party, Boy Scout meeting, sleepover, or other group event for children in my home, do the visiting children count in the child/caregiver ratio?
No, visiting children attending an event in your home are not required to be counted in the child/caregiver ratio. Child/caregiver ratios only apply to biological and adopted children of the caregivers who live in the foster home, any children receiving foster or respite child-care in the home, and children for whom the family provides day care. You must ensure appropriate care and supervision to children in care during these event.
