2. Full Day A full day consists of five (5) hours and one (1) minute up to and including ten (10) hours of care in a day. Full day units are to be used only when full days are needed beyond twenty-three (23) in a month, up to the part month equivalent. These attendance days are in addition to a full month.

3. Combination of Part and Full Days Needed When a combination of part day units and full day units of care is needed beyond twenty-three (23) days in a month, the full day units are to be included in the full month unit and the additional days are authorized as part day units, unless the level of care needed is full day units only, then the additional day units are authorized as full day units.

Example: A family consisting of one (1) parent with school aged children. The parent’s typical work schedule is 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday. The children attend school from 8:50 am to 3:30 pm and the provider transports the children to and from school. Care is needed for in-service, school closures, and Saturdays. Care for the children is needed from 7:30 am to 8:45am and from 3:30pm to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday. Care for Holidays, in-service, school closures, and Saturdays is needed from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm.

Using the month of September 2017, the children need twenty (20) part days, and six (6) full days for twenty-six (26) days of care. The full days needed are counted first to authorize a full month (6 full days plus 17 part day). The remaining three (3) days are authorized as part days.

4. Part Month A part month consists of fewer than seventeen (17) days of care in any combination of part or full day units or between seventeen (17) through twenty-three (23) part day units of care in a month. Part month units are authorized when:

• The child needs between seventeen (17) throughtwenty-three (23) part day units only of care in a month; • The child needs fewer than seventeen (17) part, full, or a combination of part and full day units of care in the month; or • The child needs seventeen (17) or more part day units of care in a month in addition to a full month.
