What is a possible consequence of non-compliance with licensing requirements?

Non-compliance with licensing requirements may lead to the development of plans of correction. When a family child care home does not meet the established licensing standards, regulatory agencies typically require the provider to create a corrective action plan. This plan outlines the specific steps that will be taken to address the areas of non-compliance and ensure that the home meets the necessary regulations moving forward. The aim is to support the provider in achieving compliance and maintaining a safe and quality environment for children.

Plans of correction serve as a crucial mechanism in the licensing enforcement process. They encourage providers to take immediate and proactive measures to rectify issues and uphold the integrity of child care services. This approach fosters accountability and improvement, rather than punitive measures, ensuring that children receive the care they deserve in a properly licensed facility.
