What is the difference between a regular and a probationary license?
A regular child care license is issued to a licensee following a six-month probationary period if, during the probationary period, the licensee is able to demonstrate to the DCF that s/he meets the minimum requirements for licensure as specified in statute and administrative rule. A regular license is non-expiring but is reviewed every two years. The regular license is valid until revoked, suspended or surrendered.
