In making this calculation, the following standards apply:

(1) a child in care at the facility for more than five cumulative hours of a day constitutes one daily full-time equivalent unit of care;

(2) a child in care at the facility for five or fewer cumulative hours of a day constitutes one-half of a daily full-time equivalent unit of care;

(3) the daily full time equivalent units of care arrived at under (1) and (2) of this subsection are totaled for each day of a month, and the daily totals are added together to arrive at a total for the month;

(4) the average daily full-time equivalent units of care for a month is determined by dividing the monthly total calculated under (3) of this subsection by 21.7. (b) For purposes of the calculation under (a) of this section, the facility may not include in the calculation the biological child, adopted child, stepchild, or foster child of the owner of a child care facility that is receiving grant payment.
