Child Care Licensing Procedure Manual

4.1 Serious or Numerous Violations During the Probationary Period

When serious and/or numerous violations are found during a monitoring visit to a program with a probationary license, the licensing specialist must consult with the licensing manager/licensing supervisor to obtain approval to take one or more of the following actions:

• Placing special conditions on the license through a stipulation;

• Taking enforcement action;

• Issuing a second probationary license; or

• Revoking the license. (Note: In very serious situations, the licensing specialist can revoke the probationary license before the end of the probationary period rather than wait until the end of the probationary license period to deny the application for the regular, non-expiring license.)
