Child Care Licensing Procedure Manual
The licensing specialist must monitor the licensee’s implementation of the BECR-ordered training. The time line for complying with the order is set by the licensing specialist, based on the seriousness of the violation(s), and should not exceed 90 days from the date of the order. In very unusual circumstances, and at the request of the licensee, the licensing specialist may, in consultation with the licensing manager/licensing supervisor, grant an extension to the expected date for training. This would usually only apply when the circumstances causing the delay are outside of the licensee’s control, such as an established schedule of courses that will delay the training or the unavailability of the trainer.
The licensing specialist should receive confirmation from the licensee that the BECR-ordered training has been provided to staff members within the time frame set forth in the order (or the ruling for the state following an appeal of the order). If the licensee does not conduct the training as required by BECR within the time frame outlined in the order, the licensing specialist should consult with the licensing manager/licensing supervisor regarding the enforcement action that should be initiated next, such as forfeiture. If the licensee conducts the training, as instructed in the order, the order is considered closed and the licensing specialist monitors the facility to ensure that the noncompliance(s) are not repeated.
