CHILD CARE PROGRAMS: Selecting a Day Care Center IF YOUR CHILD IS GOING TO A DAY CARE CENTER There are some basic things which are needed for the physical, mental and emotional welfare and safety of all children. Every child, as you know, is different. So it is with day care centers. No two day care centers will be just alike, but there are some basic factors that will be common to all. As you make decisions about what day care center will be caring for your child, you will need to get answers to a lot of questions. WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE CENTER? What are the qualifications of the staff and director? Do they regularly attend training? Do the staff have current CPR and first aid training? WHAT ARE THE CENTER’S POLICIES AND PROCEDURES? How will the center communicate with you about accidents, illnesses and your child’s progress? What are the center’s policies and procedures on giving medicine to your child? What is the center’s policy on discipline? HOW DOES THE CENTER FEEL WHEN YOU VISIT IT? You can learn a lot by looking and listening when you go to the center. Answer these questions for yourself: Are the children happy?

Child Care Licensing Prior to 1992, licensing was seen primarily as an enforcement entity. Like many states, Nebraska is learning new ways to work effectively with child care providers. This learning process began with focusing on encouraging and supporting providers by offering resource information along with technical assistance. Nebraska law requires any individual who provides child care for four or more children from different families at any one time needs to be licensed. There are four separate child care licenses: Family Child Care Home I, Family Child Care Home II, Preschool, Child Care Center. Family Child Care Home I This program is in the home of the provider who is licensed through a self-certification process. Maximum capacity is eight (8) children of mixed age and two (2) additional school age children during non-school hours. Family Child Care II This program is in the home of the provider or at another site. Pre-license inspections are required, and there is a maximum capacity of twelve (12) with two (2) providers. Child Care Center This program is licensed for at least 13 children and pre-license inspections are required.

directory contact us newsletters first time user ... Child Care Information Licensing Information The child care licensing program is a component of the services provided by Department of Children and Families. The program is accountable for the statewide licensure of Florida's child care facilities, specialized child care facilities for the care of mildly ill children, large family child care homes and licensure or registration of family day care homes. The purpose of the program is to ensure a healthy and safe environment for the children in child care settings and to improve the quality of their care through regulation and consultation. The department ensures that licensing requirements are met through on-going inspections of child care facilities and homes, thus preventing the continued operation of substandard child care programs. Florida's child care law [§402.301-319, Florida Statutes], provides for any county whose licensing standards meet or exceed the state minimum standards [Chapters 65C-20, 65C-22 and 65C-25, Florida Administrative Code], to designate by ordinance, a local licensing agency in their county. Counties not choosing to administer their own child care licensing programs, are licensed by the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Currently, DCF child care licensing staff are responsible for the inspection and licensure of child care facilities and homes in 60 out of 67 counties in the State of Florida as well as registration of family day care homes in those counties which do not require licensure. Seven counties have elected to regulate licensing of child care facilities and homes as provided in §402.306, Florida Statutes. Those counties are Alachua, Brevard, Broward, Hillsborough, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and Sarasota.
