Child Care Licensing Procedure Manual
In addition to reviewing and monitoring all rules contained in the licensing checklist every two years, the licensing specialist must review a subset of the child care group and family administrative rules every calendar year. These rules are identified in the Annual Health and Safety Rule Tag in the mobile app. This subset of rules covers administrative requirements in 10 health and safety areas designated critical to the protection of children in care.
The licensing specialist is not required to complete the annual monitoring of the health and safety rules on a single visit, but may monitor these rules during visits throughout the year, as long as all health and safety rules are reviewed within each calendar year.
See Section 4.3.1. for information on how to meet the annual monitoring of health and safety rules requirement when the rule(s) cannot be observed on the day of the visit.
