LPA discussed Type A/B citations, open door policy, fire drills, children’s personal rights, and smoking prohibition with the applicant. A current roster of children enrolled must be available and maintained for a period of three years, even after children are no longer in care. Applicant’s own children under the age of 10 count towards total capacity.

LPA explained to applicant that if they relocate and wants to continue to provide care, they must submit a change of location application and have the new home inspected. Applicant understands that if they want to make any off-limit area an on-limits area, licensing must be notified and LPA must do an inspection before children are allowed in the area. Applicant understand that licenses are not transferable, and once licensed, licensee must live in the home and be present for 80% of the operating hours. If applicant chooses to not operate the childcare anymore, licensing must be notified in writing. LPA reviewed with applicants the LIC 311D (Forms/Records To Keep In Your Family Child Care Homes), children’s forms/records, facility forms/records, and information to be posted.



Applicant was reminded that all adults 18 and over living in the home, persons who provide care and supervision to children, and staff who have contact with children, including employees and volunteers, must obtain a criminal record clearance or exemption, or transfer their existing clearance or exemption, prior to initial presence in a licensed Family Child Care Home. A civil penalty of $100.00 minimum/day up to $500.00 maximum per day/per person will be assessed if this regulation is violated.

Incidental Medical Services (IMS) policy was discussed. For IMS information , see PIN 22-02-CCP. When any IMS is provided, a Plan for Providing IMS must be submitted to the Department. The following information regarding ADA was provided: US Department of Justice (USDOJ) toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514-0301 (voice)/ (800) 514-0383 (TTY) and link to publication: Commonly Asked Questions about Child Care Centers and the ADA, available at: http://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm
