PURPOSE: This rule defines the basis on which a family day care home may qualify for exemption from licensure.
(1) A day care facility does not qualify for exemption from licensure unless it is under the exclusive control of an entity qualifying for exemption under section 210.211, RSMo.
(2) When a nonreligious organization having as its principal purpose the provision of child care services enters into an arrangement with a well-known religious order to provide continuing assistance in the maintenance or operation of a day care facility, the facility is not under the exclusive control of the well-known religious order and does not qualify for exemption from licensure under section 210.211(5), RSMo.
(3) If the person(s) operating the facility claims exemption from licensure, s/he shall file all information requested by the department to make a determination of exemption prior to opening. Facilities may waive the right to apply for exemption and request voluntary licensure. These facilities shall comply with all licensing rules.
