(a) For caregivers providing care to children only receiving child-care services and/or programmatic services, there are no pre-service experience requirements.(b) Before a caregiver can provide care to a child receiving treatment services, you must ensure that the caregiver has the experience to care for the child's treatment need. If a caregiver does not have the necessary experience, your child-placement management staff must prescribe a regimen of specific child-care experience that the caregiver must complete before you place a child with treatment needs in the caregiver's home, including a minimum of eight hours of observations of interactions with children receiving similar treatment services as the prospective caregiver would be providing.(c) You must document the caregiver's experience and/or prescribed regimen in the home's record.
