Description: Dual licensure for foster/family child care, also known as coordinated licensing, allows foster parents or #family_child_care providers to simultaneously hold a #license for both fostering and running a family child care program in their home. This approach streamlines the licensing process and ensures that the child care provided within a #foster_home meets the same quality standards as other licensed family child care settings. By allowing foster parents to become licensed child care providers, dual licensure also provides additional opportunities for stable and consistent care for children in the #foster_care system. This resource, developed by MSDE, is to provide providers guidance who seek to be licensed to give care as both a teacher and foster parent.
