#15-10-6-1: Changes to Rules Regulating Child Care Centers (Less Than Twenty-Four (24) Hour Care) |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The purpose of these proposed rules is to align licensing rules with the 2014 Federal Child Care and Development Fund requirements for Federal Fiscal Years 2016 through 2018. In addition, the proposed rules were drafted in collaboration with child care providers and community stakeholders to address the physical well-being of children in child care and the growing issue of childhood obesity in Colorado, to clarify existing rules, and to provide expanded career pathways for child care personnel.
The Department is statutorily required to review rules on a regular basis and is authorized to promulgate rules for licensed child care programs providing less than twenty-four (24) hour care that create standards and regulations for these child care programs. Each child care program must meet approved minimum standards as established by rule. |
