5.3 Monitoring and Enforcement Policies and Practices for CCDF Providers

5.3.1 Enforcement of licensing and health and safety requirements

Lead agencies must certify that procedures are in effect to ensure that child care providers caring for children receiving CCDF services comply with all applicable State and local health and safety requirements, including those described in 98.41 (98.42(a)). This may include, but is not limited to, any systems used to ensure that providers complete health and safety trainings, any documentation required to be maintained by child care providers or any other monitoring procedures to ensure compliance. Note: Inspection requirements are described starting in 5.3.2.

To certify, describe the procedures to ensure that CCDF providers comply with all applicable State and local health and safety requirements All CCDF providers are required to have one annual inspection per year. Licensed CCDF providers must have at least one unannounced inspection annually for less than 30 children, and at least two unannounced inspections annually if they are licensed for 30 or more children. Staff records and training is reviewed during these inspections. License-exempt providers have an annual inspection, are required to ensure compliance by completing a standards checklist with their Resource Developer, and once implemented, the Resource Developer will review pre-service and annual trainings requirements.
