The Child Development Division (CDD) is moving into the next phase of the child care licensing regulation revision process. At the end of February, we reached out to all regulated child care programs and our partners to seek participants for three work groups we were forming to discuss child care licensing regulation revisions. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to participate in the work groups!

We have since finalized the work group attendees, which involved ensuring balanced representation from across Vermont and having different types of registered and licensed programs represented in the work groups. Over the next month, the work groups will meet weekly. Work group members will discuss potential regulation revisions and make recommendations that CDD leadership will use to make decisions regarding regulation revisions.

Below is a list of the individuals who will be attending the work groups. Please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas with them. You will also have the ability to provide your feedback during the formal promulgation or rule filing process, which we will notify you of when the opportunity becomes available.
