(2) A child has a documented special need under WAC 110-15-0220 ;

(3) Care is not available at the DCYF rate and the provider's usual rate is authorized;

(4) The provider is participating in the state's early achievers program and receives tiered reimbursement and state funds are available; or

(5) A child registration fee is applicable under WAC 110-15-0245 . To the extent that funds are available, DCYF may pay additional subsidies to licensed or certified family home child care for field trip and quality enhancement fees under WAC 110-15-0247 .
