Know Your Rights! A Training for Child Care Providers
Date & Time
Feb 5, 2026 06:00 PM in
Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Description
Presenters: Ritu Mahajan, Directing Attorney-Community Development, Kourtney Kinchen, Keller Fellow and Cassidy Bennett, Staff Attorney; Public Counsel
Family child care providers open their homes to care for children, and that work is both deeply personal and highly regulated. While you are licensed to provide care, your home remains your private residence under California law. Licensing does not turn your home into a public building, and it does not remove your rights to privacy, safety, or due process.
This workshop is designed to help you clearly understand:
-Who does—and does not—have the right to enter your home
-What your legal obligations are as a licensed provider
-How to respond calmly and confidently if someone shows up unannounced
-How to protect yourself, the children in your care, and your family
We know that recent events—across the country and in our communities—have created fear and uncertainty, particularly for immigrant providers and mixed-status families. Let us be clear:
- This training is about your rights and protections.
- It is not about enforcement.
- It is not about immigration status.
