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.
Parents can request a non-compliance history report on a child care center or family child facility by contacting the Resource and Referral agency that serves the provider’s area or by contacting the WV Department of Health and Human Resources regulatory staff person for the provider. The regulatory staff person for this provider is TONYA CARPENTER. You can find contact information using this map.
The Resource and Referral Agency for this Child Care Provider is in Region 3. Locate contact information using this map.
