Other: This year your part day program is not completely seperate for the full day licensed program, they are on the same halls and enter and exit the same. They do enter/exit at different times of the day and they do not combine for any reason. I will speak with my supervisor and will get back to you on how to maintain both programs and be separate or if they need to be monitored by DCDEE because they are in licensed space. Child Care Consultant: Kaye Dunlap will be your licensing consultant once I get clarification on the separation of the two programs you offer. Once that is cleared up I will be passing the file on to Ms. Dunlap, as my teams territories are changing as of September 1, 2023.
