Child Care Certification Policy Manual
Certification workers shall be familiar with the WISCCRS User Guide – Creating New Providers Records. Before creating a new provider record, first conduct a thorough search in WISCCRS to find out if the applicant is known to the system. Use the applicants Tax ID, first/last names and address to conduct the search.
If the applicant has an existing licensing or certification record it is important for the certification worker to determine whether or not the existing record includes any previous enforcements that might include a stipulation, resulting from an appeal settlement, restricting the individual from applying for a license and/or certification for a specified time period.
Example of stipulated language might read as follows: “NAME agrees that neither s/he personally or as a member of a corporate board of directors will apply for (1) child care or day camp licensure under Wis. Stat. s. 48.65 and Wis. Admin. Code DCF 250, 251, or 252 or (2) child care certification under Wis. Stat. s. 48.651 and Wis, Admin, Code DCF 202 for a period of five (5) years from the date this Stipulated Settlement Agreement is fully executed.”
