Required Training Before You Can Provided Developmental Home Services

Child developmental home providers complete approximately 45 hours of training prior to receiving a license. Adult developmental home providers complete approximately 20 hours of training prior to receiving a license. There is no charge to applicants for their participation in the training. Additional training is available for licensed foster parents to continue skill building and to meet annual licensing requirements.

What to Expect During the Licensing Process.

The length of time needed to obtain a license is controlled, to a large degree, by the applicant. The entire licensing process may take three to six months, depending on your availability and level of motivation. You must obtain a fingerprint clearance card, complete training, permit an OLCR (Office of Licensing, Certification and Regulation) inspection of your home, and participate in interviews and assessments for the home study.

Once you've completed the requirements for licensure, the licensing agency will submit your application and home study to OLCR. License applications are submitted and reviewed through the paperless application Quick Connect. Quick Connect is an electronic application system for developmental home licensing. If all the requirements have been met, OLCR will issue the license. The license will specify the name of the licensee, the home address, and the number of individuals permitted to be placed in the home. A license is valid for one year and must be renewed annually. There are no fees charged to apply for licensure. However, there may be costs associated with meeting the licensing requirements.
