The provider should not be told that they are receiving a license until the required items are completed and the regional office approves the application.

 

The licensing study is an important key in determining if the provider should be given a license to operate a program as requested. The initial licensing study should be comprehensive; however, it is somewhat limited as some rules cannot be applied until after the program is operating. In order to adequately complete this study, the authorized agent should anticipate 2 – 2½ hours on site for a family child care licensing study and longer for a group license. The amount of time required for a center license will vary but a minimum of 5 – 6 hours is common. A large center or school age program may take up to 8 hours on site.

 

Note: When the license is a 2-year license, the annual requirements must be submitted to the authorized agent prior to the one year anniversary of the license. The 2-year license annual review requirement is a scheduled review for the purpose of checking the annual requirements. This is not an unannounced review.
