Appendix 8: What’s New (Revisions) 253

29. Manual Section 5.2.5 Providers Not Eligible to be Enrolled in the SC Voucher Program Title changed to Providers Not Eligible for Enrollment/RE-enrollment in ABC Quality. Added: Programs Who are on a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) with Child Care Licensing or have an open OHAN investigation - Programs who are on a CAP with Child Care Licensing are not meeting the History of Compliance to Licensing Regulations and thus cannot enroll until the completion of the CAP. Any facility that has an open OHAN investigation cannot enroll until the case has been successfully resolved. Programs Whose Primary Business is not Child Care – Programs who want to enroll, but their primary business is not child care, e.g. karate/martial arts, dance studios, gymnastics and tutoring facilities will be staffed on a case-by-case basis, and ABC Quality reserves the right to deny enrollment. Existing programs in ABC Quality can remain enrolled. Family Child Care Home Operators who are Employed Outside the Home during the Hours of Operation - the primary operator is the person whose name is on the Registration/License. They cannot be employed at another job during the hours they indicate their family child care home is in operation. Programs Operating in Strip Malls or Buildings which do not have a Designated Safe Outside Play Area for children – the program must provide a designated safe area away from vehicular traffic or other possible hazards. If cars are present, the program must provide secure barriers for protection against bodily injury. Programs With at Least Two Occurrences of an Adverse Action Taken Against them and/or Have Not Been Offered Another Agreement by ABC Quality – If there have been at least two instances whereby the provider was either terminated by ABC Quality and ABC was upheld or if ABC Quality could not offer the provider another Enrollment Agreement, the provider cannot re-enroll. This can be two instances of the same or a combination. Provider Received A Grant And Did Not Comply With The Terms And Conditions Of The Grant - the provider did not meet the terms and conditions of the grant, i.e. provider did not stay enrolled for the stated amount of time, and the funds were not paid back.
