A memorandum of understanding is an agreement between the child care providers and the department. MOUs may be used to support restricted licenses, to enter into agreement on a method of correction of violations, or for other assurances. MOUs must be approved by the central office prior to issuance.

 

  1. The authorized agent must request that a MOU be issued by the regional office, if the authorized agent feels a MOU is warranted.
  2. The regional office must consult with the central office before a MOU is issued.
  3. When a MOU is issued for reasons on a method of correction of violations or for other assurances, the provider shall receive an additional monitoring visit to ensure the provider is following the MOU.
  4. A provider under a MOU must have written "Under a MOU" on the face of the license.
  5. A provider is under a MOU until the MOU has been removed by the regional office after consulting with central office.
  6. The need for a MOU to continue will be evaluated at the request of the provider, licenser, regional office or central office.
