Child Care Licensing System Goes Live
Beginning Wednesday, December 14, the easy-to-use web-based system will allow providers to conveniently apply to become a licensed or self-declared child care provider, submit renewals, provide required documentation, and conduct related business. Once the system is live, all business-related documents must be submitted to your Licensing Specialist via the online portal.
Also on Wednesday December 14th, NDHHS will launch a new webpage dedicated to the Child Care Licensing System. The page will contain quick links to The Provider Portal, Provider Training Videos and FAQs.
