Additional Information

Explanation of License Types

Initial License
Is issued for the first six months of a center or family facility home operation.  After the first six months a determination is made to issue a regular license, a provisional license or not to license.

Regular License
Can be issued for up to two years.  If a regular license is issued for less than two years, then the center or facility may have some significant non-compliance with a need for corrective action, but not to the extent that the health and development of a child is at risk.

Provisional License
Can be issued for six months and cannot be renewed.  A provisional license means the center or facility has or had significant non-compliance that if not corrected could negatively affect the health and development of a child or it may mean the center or facility has not been able to come into compliance over a period of time with more than one corrective action plan.
