To see the draft of the proposed Rules and Regs, go to www.cdhs.state.co.us/childcare and click on  "Public Forum - Family Child Care Homes" at the left of page. Providers are encouraged to review the proposals on what is to be included in your policies & procedures handbook/paperwork given to clients. There is no information, as of 5/2008, in regards to when these rules will be put into effect.

 

As of May 1st, 2008, all providers with a regular license will need to earn 15 hours of re-licensing credits and those with an experienced license will need to earn 18 hours.

 

If providers would like to see a copy of their record with Child Care Licensing, go to www.cdhs.state.co.us/childcare. Scroll down the paragraphs to "Licensing Histories of Child Care Facilities" and follow the directions. This is the same information parents would see.

 

FYI: If a provider renews their Universal Precautions and Medication Administration class, those hours can be used towards their re-licensing credits. This is only the case if the provider has already taken these classes when they initially earned their license.
