Monitoring and Compliance
Monitoring and Compliance
The Office of Early Childhood has identified key areas of concern, based upon contracts and site observations, that have been ongoing and need to be followed up with on an individual basis. The department developed a Monitoring and Compliance List that includes general concerns that have been addressed, monitored and resolved over the years. This list is not exclusive; moreover, the list allows the department to provide specific support to all sites and help them maintain quality services for children in a number of categories. The categories include: Licensing and Contract, Family Engagement, Safety and Health, Student Enrollment, Academics, Student Support, Staff Concerns and Other.
