Licensing
Licensing staff are assigned to geographic regions in an effort to improve accessibility to our field staff. Click here for a chart of Vermont towns and licensing staff assigned to those towns. We also provide a visual map of the licensor regions. For general information about child care programs, call the Child Care Licensor on Duty Line at 1-800-649-2642.
If you have a question about:
- The processing of a registration, license or criminal record check, contact the Licensing Technician assigned to the town where you provide child care.
- Child care regulations or practices, contact the Licensing Field Specialist assigned to the town where you provide child care.
- Issues that need a supervisor's input, contact the Senior Regulatory Compliance Officer assigned to the town where you provide child care.
