How do I become a licensed provider? 

Childcare homes and Childcare facilities fall under the different categories and therefore have different pathways to becoming licensed.  

To begin a childcare home: Start by attending a pre-licensing course with a Quality Navigator to understand all the regulations and requirements. You can sign up by emailing us at [email protected] 

To begin a childcare center: Start by looking over this document created by Mesa County’s Childcare Licensing team:  https://bit.ly/mcpcf_childcare101

 Mesa County is unique in having its own licensing team instead of statewide licensing service.
