Thank you!
Here is CA rules for licensing.

The list of programs that are license exempt start on page 17.
Near the bottom of the list it says:
"(10) Any child day care program that operates only one day per week for no more than four hours on that one day." but that is the closest thing I found that says a program with limited hours is exempt from licensing.
I would definitely call licensing and ask. Especially if your state fines providers per day/child for operating illegally.
