Record Hours for Multiple Days [Family Child Care Homes]

Family child care providers need to calculate a space-time percentage at the end of each calendar year for tax purposes. 


  • Hours spent providing care to children and 
  • any hours spent working at home on child care business when children are not present
both contribute to the space-time percentage. 

This screen allows them to record hours spent in either category along with a description of tasks for recordkeeping purposes, for example Food Program paperwork, calls or emails with parents, or child care billing.

  • Select the User you would like to record hours for from the dropdown menu.
  • Click the blue “+ Record Hours for Multiple Day” button on the upper-right corner and enter the information:
    • Start Date
