Family Home Care Units may provide care for up to ___ children by a private individual in a Navy family housing unit.

• A. Up to six children
• B. Up to four children
• C. Up to eight children
• D. Up to ten children

Answer: (A)

In Family Home Care Units, the number of children a private individual may care for in a Navy family housing unit is capped to keep supervision manageable and safety standards high. The Navy allows up to six children in a private in-home care setting within family housing. This limit helps the caregiver provide attentive, quality care and makes oversight more practical.

Choosing a limit smaller than six isn’t aligned with the Navy policy for these units, while a larger limit would surpass what the Navy authorizes and could require different licensing or facility arrangements.
