Guess what this is? As a parent or guardian of a child enrolled in a licensed childcare facility, you have a number of important rights you need to know and exercise. When needed. Your child care provider is required to give you a written copy of these rights and display a publication that explains these rights at the child care facility.
Parents rights are ultimately for the benefit and protection of each child.
For example, these rights state that you have access to the child care facility during operating hours and that only people you have authorized can pick up or drop off your child from the facility.
You can find the full list of rights in a document entitled Notification of parents Rights posted on the community Care licensing website.

What can I do to restrict my child's other parents access to the child care facility?

What rights do I have when I need someone else to pick up my child from a child care facility? When you enroll your child in a child care facility, you provide a list of adults who are allowed to pick up your child when needed. Child care providers must allow any adult on this list to pick up and transport your child. Your provider is not permitted to allow your child to leave with anyone not on your list. In the event that an adult not on the authorized list needs to pick up your child, you may take the following steps. Contact the provider in advance of the pickup. Identify who will be arriving to take your child and confirm that they have your permission to do so. Ensure that the person picking up your child has their ID to show the provider or staff upon pickup. That's why it's important for you to keep up to date the list of people who can take your child from the facility.
