Child Care Licensing Procedure Manual
The licensing specialist may determine that one or more serious violations, listed below, warrants a warning letter. (Note: An order must be issued when four or more repeat, serious violations are cited at a single visit.) While every rule is important for the protection of children at the center, the designation of “serious violation” means that the violation of that particular administrative rule is viewed as more directly threatening to the health and safety of children in care.
Because each circumstance is different, the licensing specialist may need to consult with the licensing manager/licensing supervisor to determine whether a warning letter is should be issued with the Noncompliance Statement and Correction Plan or whether the licensing specialist should move straight to enforcement.
