Our provider candidate training class will teach you how to register with the clearinghouse and begin your review.
social security number
The Child Care Licensing Program collects Social Security numbers of child care providers and their household members, employees, and agents for the purpose of conducting state-mandated Level II background checks (Florida Statutes Chapter 435), which is a requirement for child care licensing. Your social security number is used as a unique numerical identifier for search purposes.
Once you have completed your prospective provider training, you can request an OCA number from your Holmes Child Care Supervisor. Then register with the DCF Clearinghouse by following the instructions provided in the prospective provider training. Once you are registered and have the necessary documents, go to a live scan vendor to get your fingerprints.
You must check the results with the clearinghouse and forward it to our office.
All other forms listed here must be completed and submitted to our office.

Please return one completed form for each applicant, representative, and each person in your household over the age of 18.
Work history
Both applicant and agent must complete and return an employment history form listing all employers over the past five years. If you or your representative is unemployed or self-employed, please check the appropriate box and note the date.
An employer verification form must also be submitted. Provider and agent each complete the signature at the top. The prospective provider will submit this to CCLP. Our office will submit it for your employer to complete. Please make sure your address and phone number are included on the employment history verification form. Future providers will need to do this for replacement providers.
