Be Aware of Imposters
It has come to our attention that persons posing as licensing representatives have attempted to gain entry into licensed Family Child Care Homes under the guise of issuing a letter grade to the facility. Please be aware that there is no “licensing” requirement to issue a letter grade to child care facilities.
It is standard protocol for licensing representatives to show picture identification prior to entering a licensed facility. We encourage you, as licensees, to ask for identification if this protocol is not followed. You may also call your local licensing office for verification, if necessary:
We encourage you to contact your local law enforcement if persons posing as licensing staff try to gain entry into your facility without proper identification.
