Attending an orientation given by Community Care Licensing (CCL) is the first step in the process of becoming a licensed child care provider. CCL will inform you, step by step, about the process and what is required of potential providers. For a copy of the current fee schedule and other information, visit the Child Care Licensing website or call them at (424) 301-3077 or (323) 981-3350.
