Types of Providers Family Childcare Homes offer a home-like atmosphere with a ratio of one caregiver to a maximum of six children including the provider’s own under the age of six. The provider is required to be registered with the State of Montana. Group Childcare Homes are settings where two adults provide care for a maximum of 12 children including the providers’ own under the age of six. Care is often provided in a private home. The providers are required to be registered with the State of Montana. Childcare Centers care for 13 or more children with hours that normally coincide with regular working hours. Centers are required to be licensed with the State of Montana. Pre-Schools are part-day programs and are not regulated in Montana. Legally Unregistered Provider (LUP) is a special provider certification category that is used for state payment purposes only. A Legally Unregistered Provider may care for no more than two unrelated children or any member in a sibling group.
