How Do You Obtain A Childcare License In The State Of Washington?
There is a rule in Washington State that to care for an unrelated child you would need a license. There are several steps involved in getting a childcare license. First is the orientation process which is a group or individual meeting with an authorized licensor. The next step would be obtaining a license application and filling it out according to the instruction given by the licensor during the orientation process. Then submit this form to the Department of Early Learning as they are the authority responsible for giving out licenses for child care. They would work closely with you for a time period of ninety days and then decide whether to give you the license or not. If they give you the license get in touch with other childcare centres and the local Child care resource and Referral agency so that they would know about your child care centre and contact you when they need your services.
