Applicant understands that children’s records are to be maintained according to Title 22 regulations and be accessible to licensing for up to three (3) years.

Applicant was informed of the MyChildCarePlan.org site, a consumer education website that helps families obtain child care by connecting them to child care providers and Resource and Referral Agencies (R&Rs) throughout California.
