Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Parents of child #1 were contacted to remind them that the child health report was due within the child's first 90 days. The form they supplied was not the correct version and did not include what is required. Since they started several months ago they did obtain a correct version so one is not due in the file at this time. But we made sure to explain to them the version that will be required annually at this point for their child to continue his enrollment. |
