STEP THREE:
Once the Community Care Licensing (CCL) office accepts your application, the CCL office has 60 days to license you. You will receive the following THREE items: |
|
1. |
An acceptance letter with the name and phone number of your Licensing Analyst.
|
2. |
A facility/license number. |
3. |
Criminal Clearance Information: Once you receive this information, it is recommended that you submit your criminal clearances immediately to ensure timely processing.
|
All adults must submit three types of criminal clearances:
|
|
Department of Justice
|
|
|
FBI |
|
Child Abuse Index Check |
|
By law, you must submit criminal clearance information for the following people: |
|
|
You (the Family Child Care Provider) |
|
|
All adults (age 18 and over) living in your home. |
|
|
All adults who will have contact with the children. |
|
|
Anyone you hire to help care for the children in your care. |
|
If you already have criminal clearances with CCL, or Trustline, ask your Licensing Analyst if those may be used. Fingerprint checks will determine if you or any of the other persons required to be fingerprinted have been convicted of any crime other than minor traffic violations.
If your license is denied for an offense other than child abuse, violent felonies or crimes against children, you may request an exemption from the Director of California Department of Social Services. Your licensing agency can help you apply for the exemption.
|
|
WHERE DO I GET FINGERPRINTED? |
|
You will receive information on LIVE SCAN. LIVE SCAN is an electronic way of submitting your fringerprints for criminal clearance. There are many locations throughout Los Angeles County where you may have this done. You will receive a listing of agencies from CCL offering the LIVE SCAN service. |
|
HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST?
