What Every Child Care Professional Should Notice Before the Inspector Does: Seeing Through the Licensing Lens

What does a licensing professional notice when they walk into a childcare program—and what might program leaders be overlooking because they see it every day?

Ronnae “The State Lady®” Williams joined members of the Child Care Association of Louisiana for What Every Child Care Professional Should Notice Before the Inspector Does: Seeing Through the Licensing Lens.

This virtual session gave childcare professionals an opportunity to look at their programs through a licensing lens, exploring what licensing specialists may notice first, common compliance gaps that can easily be overlooked, and practical ways to prepare before an inspection.

Designed for both new and experienced childcare leaders, the conversation encouraged participants to step outside of their everyday routines, take a fresh look at their programs, and identify potential compliance concerns before the inspector does.
