Resources

As a resident of Reno County, if anyone ever has a suggestion or comment they would like to make in reference to one of CCL’s regulations, please refer them to this resource on our website: Regulation Revision Suggestions Survey. It provides anyone from the public to provide suggestions and solutions to regulations perceived as a barrier. This is in the middle of our homepage: Child Care Licensing | KDHE, KS.
