Child care staff shall ensure that for each child, upon the child’s first day in attendance in the program, there is a “Child Care Registration and Emergency Information” (April 2022) form or an equivalent form provided by the child care program completed and signed by the parent, on file, which contains: 1) Full legal name of the child; (2) Child’s date of birth; (3) Child’s physical address and mailing address; (4) Child’s home telephone number; (5) Date of enrollment in the program; (6) The name, physical address, and mailing address of the parent(s) responsible for the child, if different from the child’s address; (7) Telephone numbers for the child’s parents and instructions as to how the parents can be contacted during the hours that the child is at the program; (8) Email addresses for the parents, if available; (9) Names and telephone numbers of at least one person who will assume responsibility for the child, if for any reason, the parents cannot be reached immediately in an emergency; (10) Any chronic conditions, allergies, or medications in case of sudden illness or injury; (11) Written parental permission for first aid treatment; (12) Written parental permission for emergency medical transportation and treatment; (13) The name and telephone number of each child’s physician or health care provider; and (14) Names and telephone numbers of any person(s) other than parents who are authorized to remove the child from the program.

A review of ten children's files revealed that nine files did not contain documentation of the most recent version of the “Child Care Registration and Emergency Information” (April 2022) form, or its equivalent, as they did not contain the current licensing statement for parents/guardians. Corrective action: I printed out the new registration form for each child in the program who did not have it on file and parents filled it out and signed it. I will be checking the Licensing website and reading emails to make sure I am up to date on new forms and requirements.
