Module 9: Program Planning and Development

Washington Licensing Rules and Laws

Module 9 Menu

Page 7


Use the arrows on the right to view the slide show below.
    

Each employee and volunteer in a child care program is responsible for completing a number of forms for complying with certain licensing rules and policies in order to maintain their employment with the program.  In addition, if a center employs more than five people, certain written policies must be in place and discussed with each employee that is hired.  Each employee will have a personnel file with required items that will be monitored by the licensor.

During a monitoring visit, the licensor will review if the program is in compliance with the licensing rules, also known as WACs or Washington Administrative Codes.  The WACs can be found in a document called the Child Care Center Licensing Guidebook or the Family Home Child Care Licensing Guide as well as online.  The guidebooks are used as primary texts this course and assist everyone who works in early learning programs to implement the requirements of licensing.  Both the Center Guidebook and the FHCC Guide are useful resources, helpful in answering questions and guiding day-to-day practice. Sometimes addendum's and additions are made to the WACs.  Updates will be posted on the Department of Early Learning’s website.

As you begin your work with children, it will be necessary for you to be aware of the Washington State licensing rules, and to be able to find the information quickly and accurately if needed. 

You have probably noticed as you look through the Center Guidebook or FHCC Guide in this course that the WACs are divided into sections including:
  1. Licensing
  2. Staffing
  3. Program
  4. Health and nutrition
  5. Care of Young Children
  6. Safety and environment
  7. Agency practices
  8. Records, reporting and posting

Within each section are listings of the WACs written in numerical order.  Family Child Care WACs have a letter A in the middle sequence of numbers listed for the WAC.  If a center fails to comply with the WAC, civil fines can be imposed or in some cases licenses can be denied, suspended, or revoked.
