The LPA explained that one of the primary concern for parents and families when choosing a child care program is knowing their children will be healthy and safe while benefiting from a quality child care environment. Licensing regulations and statutes help maintain safe and quality environments by establishing requirements, including appropriate staffing ratios, ensuring active supervision in child care, and ensuring Facilities providing care to children are clean safe and sanitary at all times. Therefore, in order to better assure and promote the health and safety of each individual being cared for in licensed setting, the Community Care Licensing Division's (CCLD) is focusing efforts on three priority areas: Prevention, compliance, and enforcement. Thus, CCLD launched the Inspection Process Project (IPP) to meet these goals. As a result it developed the Compliance and Regulatory Enforcement (CARE) Tools for the Child Care Program which is being used during today's inspection.
