Child Care Certification Policy Manual
For new applicants who wish to care for children under age 5, the certificate of approval cannot be backdated further than the date the AHT/SBS training (or pre-training) was completed, even if the applicant submitted a complete certification application and / or YoungStar contract prior to the AHT/SBS date (unless the operator is certified to care for only children age 5 and older). This means that if an operator cared for children under age 5 who are receiving child care subsidy, the subsidy program will not pay for the care provided prior to the completion of the AHT/SBS training. See Module 5 – Training for more information regarding SBS training requirements.
