MARYLAND – The proposed regulation amendment regarding Educational Programs in Non-Public Nursery Schools (Family) is posted to the Maryland Registrar now and will be available for public comment until December 15, 2025.
The proposed amendments and new chapter would allow family child care programs to operate as a non-public nursery school.
As a result, family child care providers would also be eligible to participate in an approved preparation program and therefore in public prekindergarten.
