Program database, so that no new Child Care Scholarship Program children can be connected during the appeals process. If a provider does file an appeal (regardless of the Child Care Scholarship Program level), the Provider Appeals and Hearing Process should be followed. If during the appeals process the violations are life-threatening or pose an immediate and substantial threat to the health and/or safety of the children enrolled, the Director of Early Care and Education may make a decision to remove all Child Care Scholarship Program children from the facility.

5.17.3 FINAL NOTIFICATION TO THE CLIENTS AND THE PROVIDER FROM THE CHILD CARE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM After receiving the final notification from ABC Quality that a facility is being terminated, the Child Care Scholarship Program will send a letter to all Child Care Scholarship Program clients connected to the facility, notifying them that the facility’s enrollment is being terminated and that the Child Care Scholarship Program will not pay for services after the termination of enrollment date to that provider. The Child Care Scholarship Program Control Center will send a final notice to the provider as well as a letter to the clients, notifying the provider of the facility’s termination of enrollment from the Child Care Scholarship Program and the last date payment will be made to the facility on behalf of Child Care Scholarship Program clients. Parents will be given an opportunity to select another ABC Quality Program facility for their child. A listing of all Levels A, B, C and P facilities are available at www.scchildcare.org. Parents may also request a printed list of ABC Quality provider by calling the Child Care Scholarship Program Control Center at (800)476-0199. Parents may choose to remove their child from the facility prior to the official termination of enrollment date but must call the Child Care Scholarship Program Control Center to receive prior approval. If any Child Care Scholarship Program parents continue to choose the provider after the official termination of enrollment date, the parents will be responsible for full payment to the provider after the termination of enrollment date.
