Child Care Licensing Procedure Manual
The facility file is the collection of all information and documentation maintained by BECR pertaining to a licensed child care center or day camp. This includes the center information entered into WISCCRS and the documents that are collected, reviewed and retained for each center. The facility file consists of all records, whether in the electronic format, uploaded and stored in WISCCRS, or in hard copies retained in a paper facility file.
The procedure chapter titled Facility Files identifies the WISCCRS location for all facility file documents contained in a current, active licensed child care facility file.
For more information regarding the procedures on uploading electronic documents and retaining facility records, see the Record Retention and Facility Files chapters of this procedure manual. For more information on the location of application and continuation documents in the facility file, see the WISCCRS User Guide.
