Enforcement Actions:

The Licensing Branch of MSDE’s Office of Child Care is directly responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with child care licensing regulations. The Licensing Branch staff helps providers achieve and maintain compliance by conducting regular inspections of child care programs and providing technical assistance and consultation to child care providers on compliance-related issues. However, when a child’s health or safety may be placed at risk because a program cannot or will not comply with licensing regulations, an enforcement action against the program’s license may be necessary. This action may include Emergency Suspension, Suspension or Revocation of the license.
