For many years, the state neglected to regulate the most common form of child care: informal arrangements where mothers hire other mothers to care for their children. This oversight led to potential safety and quality concerns, as these arrangements often operate outside traditional licensing and regulatory frameworks. Recent developments indicate that state authorities are beginning to implement measures to monitor and potentially regulate these in-home day care services to ensure child safety and welfare.
