Licensing Monitoring Practices in the United States

Here are two graphics taken from the TRLECE Monitoring Practices Used in Child Care and Early Childhood Licensing publication. I have posted the full report in an earlier blog post (February 24, 2023) for those who would be interested in reading the full report.

This first image provides a flow chart for depicting how monitoring practices are being conducted in the US as of 2020. The second image provides a map depicting how individual states are using abbreviated inspections/differential monitoring approaches, such as risk assessment, key indicators, and consensus building.
