State Licensing Requirements:
Different states have different rules regarding childcare. I am going to concentrate on how to begin a childcare business in the State of Oregon on this website. If you live in another state, this should still give you a good idea of what you need to do.
* Registered Family Child Care Homes (For three children or less.)
Here is the link for the State of Oregon Childcare Division: State of Oregon Office of Childcare. The following link gives you the ins-and-outs of Oregon childcare options: just click here for statues, laws and licensing requirements.
You will need to do these things:
- Attend the orientation course provided by the state.
- Attend the short Child Abuse and Neglect course offered by the state.
- Get a criminal background check. If you are working from home, everybody living in your household over the age of 16 will also need to have a background check. Volunteers at your center will also need to have background checks.
- Get your food handlers card. You can do this online, and it only costs $10.00. Click here to get your food handlers card online (Oregon).
- Take an infant and child CPR course.
- Get insurance for your business. Check with your agent to see if your homeowners or renters insurance covers you for the liability of caring for other people's children.
- Register with the USDA Food Program, if you choose to. You can get reimbursed for feeding the kids in your center. Click here to find out how.
