LIC 9040 Form must be kept in a central location at the facility (for instance, administration), updated when needed, and be available to the authorities, including a licensing agency, upon request. Failure to properly maintain all required records can lead to serious problems because if critical information regarding children is missing or not readily available, it could cause a health and safety risk for children in care.
Accurate records will help the administration of the facility to address many situations - for instance, verifying children's ages to ensure the facility does not exceed the capacity permitted by the license. The document does not require signatures. You may print as many copies as needed. Gather the information when the child is first enrolled and regularly confirm with families that the details are up to date. Retain a copy of the Form LIC 9040 for at least three years.
