What is a Permit ?

A permit is the written authorization granted by Child Care Regulation (CCR) to operate a child-care operation. The types of permits issued by CCR are certificate, compliance certificate, license, listing, and registration.

What is an Operation Number ?

An operation number (sometimes called a permit number) is a unique number assigned by Child Care Regulation to persons and businesses that:

have applied for or been issued a permit (certificate, compliance certificate, license, listing, or registration);

have submitted an exemption request; or

have been reported as an unregulated operation.

An operation number must be assigned to you or your business before you can submit requests to have Child Care Regulation process the required background checks.

How Do I find My Operation Number?

If Child Care Regulation (CCR) has issued you or your business a certificate, compliance certificate, license, listing, or registration, you can view the operation number on the paper permit given to you or your business. Your operation number is also displayed on all inspection reports, investigation letters, and other official correspondence from CCR.
