All family daycare facilities in residential districts require state licensing from the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD). After a facility has substantiated one year of experience as a small family daycare facility (a facility with eight or fewer children), the applicant may apply for a CCLD license to increase the size of the facility to a large family daycare facility (a facility with 9 to 14 children). In addition to state licensing requirements, a large family daycare facility in the City of Fremont must receive the review and approval of a Zoning Administrator Permit and City Business Tax License.
The purpose of a large family daycare zoning administrator permit is to assure that its operation in a residential district does not have an adverse impact on the adjacent neighboring property. Operational regulations are imposed to address issues such as parking, traffic, noise and outdoor play areas.
