Child Care Certification Policy Manual
For new applicants, the certificate of approval cannot be backdated further than the date the AHT/SBS training was completed, even if the applicant submitted a complete application and / or a YoungStar Contract – Family Provider or a Wisconsin Shares Participation Contract prior to the AHT/SBS date (unless the operator is certified to care for only children age five (5) and older). This means that if an operator cared for children under age five (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 3 and 4 for more information regarding complete application and YoungStar requirements.
