Action:
Adopt New Standards for Licensed Child Day Centers
Action 3778
[Withdrawn 8/21/2015]
General Information
| Action Summary |
This regulatory action has several purposes. The first is to ensure that parents have sufficient information to make informed decisions about placing their children in licensed child day centers. The second is to facilitate the social, emotional and intellectual development of children receiving care in licensed child day centers. The third is to ensure the safety of children receiving care in licensed child day centers. The fourth is to improve understanding and interpretation leading to enhanced compliance and enforcement by the adjusted structure, format, and simplified language.
The current regulation has been amended six times since its adoption in 1993 and its current terminology and format is burdensome and confusing for providers, parents, and Division of Licensing Programs (DOLP) staff to navigate. In fact, the current regulations are supplemented by a 63-page guidance document to assist providers, parents, and DOLP staff in interpreting and enforcing the current regulation.
