Conn. Agencies Regs. § 19a-87b-3
No person, group of persons, association, organization, corporation, institution or agency, public or private, shall maintain a family child care home in the State of Connecticut without a license issued by the commissioner. Only one license shall be issued per residence.
A person who provides child care services as defined in section 19a-77 of the Connecticut General Statutes at a private family home other than the child's own for children who are not the person's grandchild(ren), great grandchild(ren), foster child(ren), niece(s), nephews(s), sibling(s), son(s) or daughter(s) by blood, adoption, marriage or court decree is required to be licensed. The Office may require documentation verifying the relationship.
A person may apply for a family child care home license by submitting an unaltered, completed application to the Office. The application forms are available through the Office. The application forms, which may be modified by the commissioner from time to time, shall contain information that the commissioner deems necessary to determine whether the applicant or provider shall be issued or re-issued a family child care home license. The application forms shall contain a notice that false statements made therein are punishable in accordance with section 53a-157b of the Connecticut General Statutes, and that false statements may also be grounds for the denial of the license. The application forms shall contain a certification that the applicant or provider is familiar with, has read and understands sections 19a-87b-1 to 19a-87b-18, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, agrees to abide by them, and shall allow inspections by Office staff to the family child care home.
The applicant, household members, and proposed family child care staff, as part of the application process, shall agree to provide or authorize Office access to any information or records that the commissioner deems necessary to investigate or verify that the applicant meets the requirements of sections 19a-87b-6 to 19a-87b-8, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies including, but not limited to, medical information, criminal records, sex offender records and records of the Department of Children and Families.
If the applicant, household members or proposed child care staff refuse to cooperate with the Office in completing this process, or fail to provide the required information, such failure shall constitute sufficient reason for denial of the application.
The applicant shall be interviewed as part of the application process, and shall allow Office staff to inspect thoroughly the entire facility.
An applicant who withdraws an application or a provider who voluntarily relinquishes a license may reapply by filing a new application with the Office at any time.
