441—110.13 (237A) Transition exception. The following transition exceptions shall apply to providers renewing a valid previously issued child care home registration on or after December 1, 2002:
	 110.13(1) If the provider is providing child care to four infants at the time of renewal, the provider may continue to provide child care to those four infants. However, when the provider no longer provides child care to one or more of the four infants, or one or more of the four infants reaches the age of 24 months, this exception shall no longer apply. This exception does not affect the overall limit on the number of children in care under the child development home category within which the provider is registered.
	 110.13(2) If the provider is providing child care to school-age children in excess of the number allowable for the provider’s registration category at the time of renewal, the provider may continue to provide care to those children and may exceed the total number of children authorized for that category by the excess number of school-age children. This exception is subject to the following conditions:
	  a.   	 The maximum number of children attributable to this exception is five.
	  b.   	 The provider must comply with the other requirements limiting the number of children under that registration category.
	  c.   	 If more than eight children are present at any one time for more than two hours, the provider shall be assisted by a department-approved assistant who is at least 14 years of age.
	  d.   	 When the provider no longer provides child care to one or more of the school-age children who was receiving child care at the time of registration, the excess number of children allowed under this exception shall be reduced accordingly.
