(2) The child care center WAC 110-300A-0010 and 110-300A-0050 allows providers to care for children from one month up to and including the end of their eligibility period after their thirteenth birthday. The provider must obtain a child-specific and time-limited exception from their child care licensor to provide care for a child outside the age listed on the center's license. If the provider has an exception to care for a child who has exceeded the child's thirteenth birthday, the payment rate is the same as subsection (1) of this section, and the five through twelve year age range column is used for comparison. WAC 110-300A-0010 and 110-300A-0050 are superseded by WAC 110-300-0005 and 110-300-0356, respectively, effective August 1, 2019.
(3) If the center provider cares for a child who is thirteen or older, the provider must have a child-specific and time-limited exception. The child must meet the special needs requirement according to WAC 110-15-0220 when thirteen or older at application or reapplication.
