Steps to Becoming Licensed
Attend Orientation (in person/virtual). 2) Prepare Your Home (childproof; safe sleep; secure hazards; identify outdoor play; verify city zoning/HOA). 3) Submit Application (LIC 279 + forms). 4) Pre-Licensing Home Inspection. 5) Receive & display license.
Once you’ve completed the required trainings, gathered your documents, and prepared your home or center for inspection, you’re ready to submit your application packet to the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD). The checklist below outlines the key forms, fees, and timelines you’ll need to manage throughout the licensing process. Keeping these items organized will help ensure your application moves forward smoothly and without delays.
