November 2011 is Amnesty Month for Family Child Care.

During this month, anyone who is providing childcare and is not certified may apply for certification, attend training and continue to take care of children during that time, as long as certification takes place after satisfactory background checks and completion of required training and inspections. If the person fails to complete certification requirements, childcare must stop.

A monthly briefing is held for anyone interested in becoming a certified provider. Orientation training is held 6 times during the year.
