Monitoring and supporting license-exempt care: Case studies

Description:
As Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Administrators make critical decisions regarding the monitoring and support of license-exempt (exempt) child care providers, they often look to other States to better understand how their monitoring and support systems are implemented. The National Center on Child Care Quality Improvement (NCCCQI) received information from six States (AR, AZ, IN, ND, NM, and UT) about their oversight of exempt providers. While this document is primarily focused on exempt homes, there is also some information about how these States oversee exempt centers. Most States allow exempt providers to receive CCDF funding. And while exempt providers are not subject to the regulatory requirements set forth by the licensing agency, the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014 (CCDBG Act of 2014) requires States and Territories to have health and safety requirements in 10 different topic areas for all providers participating in the CCDF subsidy program, as well as preservice and ongoing training on those topics. The CCDBG Act of 2014 also requires States and Territories to have monitoring policies and practices in place no later than November 19, 2016 to ensure that child care providers are in compliance with the health and safety requirements. This issue brief is one of a series of three briefs that offer insights into how States and Territories have improved their systems with new requirements, monitoring policies, and support systems for exempt providers. These issue briefs were developed based on several regional webinars and meetings that focused on monitoring license-exempt providers. (author abstract)
