Child Care Center
Licensing Requirements

• All staff must have a criminal record clearance before working in a center. Volunteers and students are sometimes exempt from this requirement if they are directly supervised by an employee with a clearance and spend no more than 16 hours per week at the facility. They cannot be left alone with the children.
• A current tuberculosis clearance is required for all staff.
• All child care centers must secure and maintain a fire clearance approved by the city or county fire department.
• At least one staff member who is trained in CPR and first aid must be present when children are at the child care center or offsite for center activities.
