Looking at Child Care Licensing Through an Equity Lens
This session was presented during the BUILD 2021 National Conference.
Licensing systems interact with most child care providers and impact the health and safety of millions of young children. This session will introduce some questions that licensing agencies can use to examine whether licensing policies and practices support equitable participation in the early childhood system for providers, children, and families. The Culturally Responsive Community-Based Licensing Model will be discussed as a method for building caring, reciprocal relationships with child care providers.
