Reporting
Childcare Center License (Rule 3)* childcare providers need to complete the Childcare Annual Immunization Status Report (AISR).
*On June 18, 2025, childcare center licensing transferred from the Department of Human Services (DHS) to the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). Existing DHS-issued license certificates remain valid, and license holders do not need to reapply or take any action. For more information about this transition, refer to the June 18 GovDelivery message: Licensing transition from the Department of Human Services to the Department of Children, Youth, and Families.
