Child Care Licensing Procedure Manual
The licensing specialist must monitor the applicant/licensee to ensure compliance with the conditions of the stipulation as well as with administrative rule. The licensing specialist is responsible for assigning each facility in his/her caseload to one of the four monitoring plans based on the type of program, the program’s compliance history and whether the program has a probationary or regular license. See the chapter titled Monitoring Activity Standards in the Monitoring section of this manual. The stipulation itself does not determine the monitoring plan that the licensee will be subject to; the reason behind the stipulation and the potential risk to the health, safety, and welfare of children, however, must be considered. Therefore, the licensing specialist must consider the program’s compliance history, which may have necessitated the stipulation, when assigning the monitoring plan. For example, if the stipulation was executed in lieu of proceeding with an appeal of an enforcement action, the licensing specialist should assign the facility to the monitoring plan commensurate with enforcement action, the maximum monitoring plan.
When a stipulation to prevent enforcement or following enforcement is rescinded and no longer valid as a license condition due to a change in circumstances, the monitoring plan must be reduced accordingly.
