	The effectiveness of using child care for addressing developmental problems should be monitored. If the child makes no progress after a year, termination of child care or a change in provider should be considered. Should the child make sufficient progress to be functioning in the acceptable range for his/her age or grade, child care should not be continued for more than one year after the initial assessment. Children five years through eight years of age receiving regular school-day services may be authorized for part-time care only; however, full-time care is permitted during summer during the weeks no school services are provided. Children age nine and older may be authorized for part-time or full-time care only during the summer weeks that school does not operate. Should an eight-year-old turn nine during the school year, services may be continued until the school year terminates.
