Section 388-148-1390. Can I accept children outside the limitations of my license?

(1) We have the discretion to allow you to temporarily exceed your capacity. We may do this when you provide care for a sibling group, respite care, placement of a relative child, or because you have demonstrated exceptional abilities to meet the needs of children. The placement must be in the best interest of the child and may not affect the health and safety of other children in the home.

(2) The approval must be in writing and we may require a written plan for additional supervision or other requirements before granting approval.
