   WHAT'S NEW?

  • ATTENTION SCHOOL AGE ONLY CHILD CARE PROGRAMS
    - Training on New Rules for Out of School Time Programs

            · The Bureau of Child Care Licensing will be offering several Saturday trainings for owners and directors of school age child care programs (programs that serve only children in kindergarten or older). These trainings are in preparation of the out of school time rules which will go into effect after the training takes place. In this training we will review the rules, the interpretation guidelines, and the inspection process. Attendance at the training is voluntary, and there is no cost to attend.

        · The training will begin at 10:00 am and will finish by 3:00 pm. There will be a 30 minute lunch break from 12:30-1:00 pm. The dates and locations are listed below. In order for us to print enough materials for everyone, please register no later than the Tuesday before the training you wish to attend. To register contact Joyce Hasting by phone at (801) 538-9288, or by email at jhasting@utah.gov.

  • The Bureau is now required by the state legislature to implement a $25 fee for noncompliant facilities. Effective July 1, 2009, this fee is charged as follows:

         1. Each provider will have one follow-up inspection (if needed) after their Announced and Unannounced Inspections, and one follow-up inspection (if needed) after each Complaint Investigation. If additional follow-up inspections are needed because noncompliance was found on the first follow-up inspection, the provider will be charged $25 for each additional follow-up inspection that is needed.

        2. If you are issued a conditional license or certificate for noncompliance to the rules, there will be a $25 charge for each monitoring inspection that takes place during the period of the conditional license or certificate.

    If you have any questions regarding this fee, please click here to contact your regional Licensing office.

  • In the 2008 session the Utah State Legislature passed a new law that now requires the Department of Health to verify the lawful presence in the United States of any individual to whom a new or renewal child care license or certificate is issued.
