child care services offered in a distinct part of a regularly licensed child
care facility, for a period of less than 24 hours per day
specialized child care facilities
,- Correct Answer - are licensed programs that provide child care for more
than five mildly ill children unrelated to the operator, which receive a
payment, fee, or grant for any of the children receiving care, wherever
operated, and whether or not operated for profit. These programs were
created by the Legislature in order to implement standards, in conjunction
with the Florida Department of Health, specific to caring for mildly ill
children, such as those with the flu
drop in child care
- Correct Answer - a child care arrangement where families occasionally
leave their child for no more than four hours but remain on the premises,
such as child care at a shopping mall. A communication system must be
provided to the family to ensure they can return immediately to the child if
necessary.
evening child care
- Correct Answer - child care provided during the evening hours, which are
defined as 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. During evening child care, personnel
must remain awake at all times. When children are awake, child care
personnel must provide direct supervision. When children are sleeping,
staff must be within sight and hearing of all children. While children are
sleeping, there must be enough staff to meet the staff-to-child ratios within
the building, on the same floor; and they must be available to respond, if
needed. If a program only provides evening child care, they are not
required to provide outdoor space. The program director is not required to
have a Director Credential, nor do staff need to have staff credentials.
,access
- Correct Answer - During the child care program's operational hours and
the times the children are in care, the program must allow parents,

telephone.
