Currently:
If you are submitting an application for a Child Care Learning Center (CCLC), you must attend a Licensure Orientation Meeting (LOM) class prior to submitting an application for license. LOM is required for all CCLC applicants and is strongly recommended for GDCH applicants. LOM classes are conducted monthly and there is no charge to attend. View our Caregivers page for LOM schedules.
