STAFF QUALIFICATIONS/RECORDS MODULE
CHILD CARE CENTERS
This guide is provided to child care centers determined by the licensing agency as eligible for a modified
comprehensive visit. For eligible centers, the licensing evaluator will not include a review of staff records as part of
the annual licensing evaluation. The licensing evaluator will, however, review staff records at least one time during
a three-year period. When given this guide, the child care center will be asked to evaluate staff records
requirements independently, and to certify that all records are in compliance with licensing standards. This
independent review is voluntary. If the child care center chooses to review these records, review by the licensing
evaluator will not be necessary.
This guide is to assist in reviewing staff records in the child care center. The guide lists some of the most common
problem areas involving staff records found by licensing staff. Read each statement and check Met or Not Met f
or
the answer that best describes the completeness and accuracy of the records in the center. If a problem with staff
records is identified (records are missing, incomplete, or inaccurate), please take appropriate action to ensure that
the problem is corrected within 30 days. This is not a complete list of licensing requirements. When the licensing
worker visits, they may look at more than what is in this guide. Please review the child care center regulations for
all requirements.
