N.D.C.C. § 50-11.1-07 gives the department and the authorized agent the right to, at any time, investigate and inspect the conditions of any facility and the qualifications of the provider of early childhood services, whether licensed, self-declared, or in-home provider.

 

Investigating concerns must be a top priority for the authorized agent. If a concern is received, the authorized agent shall investigate the child care as soon as possible. In some situations, it is advisable for staff to go as a team in order to have a back-up witness.
