Stay Safe on the Road

Stay Informed About Family Daycare Requirements

In 2021, the Washington legislature enacted Senate Bill 5237, which includes capacity flexibility for daycare providers. This flexibility allows the Department of Children, Youth, and Families to issue waivers, raising the number of children served by individual family daycares.   

On Sept. 27, the Redmond Planning Commission will review and hold a public hearing on zoning code amendments including review procedures responding to the waivers.
