Licensed VS Unlicensed Child Daycares

Steps to Become a Licensed Child Daycare Provider

Introduction:

Running a licensed daycare is an important responsibility that requires meeting certain criteria and undergoing various processes. In this blog, we will outline the steps involved in becoming a licensed child daycare provider, ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in your care. At Tati's Tots 247 Child Daycare, we go above and beyond to provide a safe and secure environment for your child. In addition to the standard licensing requirements, we offer video surveillance access to parents, providing them with peace of mind and the ability to monitor their child's well-being at any time.

✅️Step Fingerprinting and Background Checks

To ensure the safety of the children, every person in the home over the age of 18 must undergo fingerprinting and a comprehensive background check. This step helps identify any potential risks and ensures that individuals with a criminal history are not involved in the daycare operations.

✅️Step 2: Home Inspection by a Department of Social Services Worker

The next step involves a thorough inspection of your entire home by a representative from the Department of Social Services. This inspection aims to assess the suitability of your home environment for child care, including safety measures, cleanliness, and adherence to specific regulations and guidelines.

✅️Step 3: CPR, First Aid, and AED Training

As a licensed child daycare provider, it is crucial to be prepared for any medical emergencies that may arise. Completing a CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), First Aid, and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) training course equips you with the necessary skills to handle emergency situations and provide immediate care until professional help arrives.

✅️Step 4: County Early Childhood Education Course

To enhance your knowledge and understanding of early childhood education, many licensing agencies require completion of a county-approved early childhood education course. This course covers topics such as child development, age-appropriate activities, nutrition, and creating a safe and stimulating learning environment.

✳️➕️✳️Step 5: Video Surveillance for Added Peace of Mind

At Tati's Tots 247 Child Daycare, we understand that parents want reassurance about their child's safety. That's why we offer video surveillance access to parents, allowing them to log in and view live footage from our daycare facility at any time. We are currently the ONLY provider offering this tremendous service. This additional measure provides an extra layer of security and peace of mind, knowing that they can check on their child throughout the day.

Becoming a licensed child daycare provider involves several important steps to ensure the safety and well-being of the children under your care.
