This letter transmits a new form and a revised form with information regarding serious risk non-compliances for licensed child care centers. The JFS 01549 "Summary of Child Care Licensing Serious Risk Non-Compliances" is a new form to assist providers in quickly identifying serious risk non-compliances in rules for licensed child care centers. The JFS 01552 "Keys To Compliance Success" has been revised to include updated rule language regarding criminal background check requirements. This document provides steps child care centers can take to maintain compliance for those non-compliances that have been identified as serious risk.
