TO: All Child Care Manual Holders
FROM: Cynthia C. Dungey, Director
SUBJECT: Keys to Compliance Revision

Background:

The JFS 01552 "Keys to Compliance" is a resource designed to assist child care centers in better understanding the serious risk non-compliances. It was designed to be small enough to keep in the classroom as a quick reference for staff to use when maintaining compliance.

What are the revisions?

The JFS 01552 has been revised to correct spacing and to clarify several rule requirements:
