Licensing

The state of Maryland requires that a caregiver who is not a relative and who is paid by you to care for your child outside of your home on a regular basis for 20 or more hours per month, the caregiver must be licensed in accordance with Maryland child care regulations. In Maryland, it is illegal for a non-relative or agency to provide paid out-of-home child care for 20 or more hours per month on a regular basis without proper licensure. A person or agency that provides illegal child care is subject to civil and criminal penalties under State law.
