Legal Resources for the Childcare Provider
These five resources are great for when a provider might have legal or licensing questions. So hold on to these for when you need them. Here are 5 FREE legal resources for the childcare provider.
1. Advocate
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a partner in your business? A partner that knew things you had no clue about. Even better, what if this was a silent partner? You got it! You’ve got an advocate! Most states have a licensing advocate program that you can turn to for licensing and legal questions. Check with your licensing office to see if you have an advocate program in your state.

2. Insurance
Your liability insurer can be a greater resource far beyond just
3. Union
Joining a provider union can be a great benefit to the provider. Provider unions have contacts and resources that the provider may not know about. Usually, they are able to point providers toward help for legal matters. Check out SEIU for a chapter near you.
