The rules for child care facility licensing in the Department of Human Services state that a license must be obtained before care begins unless the care is exempt, and a license is not required for certain special schools or classes, occasional care with or without compensation, and certain types of child care centers. Violation of any provision of the Child Care Licensing Act or intentional false statements or reports made to the State Department may result in civil penalties assessed by the State Department. Hardship waivers, stringency appeals, and materials waiver requests may be heard and decided by the State Department. Facilities licensed under the Child Care Licensing Act are subject to federal laws and regulations regarding non-discrimination, the age discrimination act, the rehabilitation act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The application process for child care facility licenses involves submitting a completed application, proof of lawful presence, and appropriate fees to the State Department. Background checks for records of child abuse or neglect and criminal records are required for operators, employees, and volunteers of child care facilities. Fire and health inspections and compliance with zoning codes are also required. Changes in licensee, owner, governing body, classification of facility or service offered, or location of the facility require a new application. There are different types of licenses, including permanent, time-limited, provisional, and probationary licenses.

Child care facilities must obtain a license before care begins, with certain exemptions. Violations of licensing rules or intentional false statements can result in fines or injunctions. Applicants or licensees have the right to appeal or request waivers for certain rules or standards if they believe it poses an undue hardship.
