NOTICE to Child Care License/Registration and Employment Applicants
Commercial LiveScan fingerprinting services are now available. Private agencies ("commercial fingerprinting services") are authorized by COMAR 12.15.05 to submit fingerprints directly to the Maryland Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) for the purpose of obtaining criminal history record checks. Electronic fingerprint applications produce fast, reliable background check results. At present, there are several private agencies certified by Maryland CJIS to provide LiveScan fingerprint services. They offer services at a variety of locations around the state. Click here for a list of these agencies and information about their services.
PROVIDERS, PLEASE NOTE!
All family child care registration applicants and providers who wish to care for children under the age of 2 years must first complete an OCC-approved SIDS training course.
OCC-approved SIDS training is available through:
· Colleges and universities
· The 45 clock-hour Infant/Toddler course
· Local health departments
· Child Care Resource and Referral Centers
· Abilities Network - Project ACT
· Certain workshops and courses offered by
OCC-approved trainers and training agencies
(check with your OCC regional licensing
office for a listing)
Approved training is also available online at the following websites:
http://www.educarer.org - "SIDS Course" - The course itself is free, but the certificate of completion (which you will need in order to document compliance with the training requirement) costs $10.
http://www.carecourses.com - "Infant Safety E-Course" - The course costs $10, but this includes the fee for a certificate. Please note that these online courses are produced in other states. However, the course contents are fully approved by OCC as meeting Maryland child care requirements.
Please note that these online courses are produced in other states. However, the course contents are fully approved by OCC as meeting Maryland child care requirements. Also, OCC Regional Licensing Offices conduct SIDS training sessions for providers. There is no cost for these sessions. Please contact your Regional Office for more information.
NOTICE TO PARENTS AND PROVIDERS:
Maryland's Child Passenger Safety Law was changed effective June 30, 2008. Under this change, every child under 8 years old must ride in an appropriate child restraint unless the child is 4 feet, 9 inches or taller, or weighs more than 65 pounds. Every child from 8 to 16 years old who is not secured in a child restraint must be secured in a vehicle seat belt. If you would like to learn more about this law, or would like information on selecting or using child restraints, please call Maryland Kids in Safety Seats (Maryland KISS) at 410-767-6016 or log on to www.mdkiss.org.
