Regulation 5.11: The licensee shall ensure that any new individuals regularly present at the Afterschool Child Care Program submit a Records Check Authorization form to the Division prior to working with children in the Afterschool Child Care Program.

“Staff A did not submit to fingerprinting until almost three (3) months after their start date. Staff B found that their fingerprint authorization certificate issued in October 2025 had the wrong SSN, so they resubmitted a new record check authorization form, but it was kicked back to the program. The new record check authorization form was not sent until after this visit. Additionally, Staff B has not followed through with their out of state child abuse and neglect registry check. Staff C, who has been employed for over three (3) months has no proof of having completed fingerprinting and has not followed through with their out of state child abuse and neglect registry check. Staff D, who has been employed for over three (3) months has not followed through with their out of state child abuse and neglect registry checks. Corrective Action: Ensure that all staff who still need fingerprints are fingerprinted and send the receipts to Licensor [name]. Ensure that all staff who need to follow through with out of state child abuse and neglect registry checks follow the instructions originally given to them to complete the submissions and confirm with Licensor [name] when this is completed. If staff needs new information for submitting out of state child abuse and neglect registry checks, contact Child Care Business Technician Stephen Ames at stephen.ames@vermont.gov. Additionally, submit a plan to Licensor [name] that shows what your system will be for ensuring that all staff complete all portions of their background clearances within sixty (60) days of hire.”
