Final Steps for Licensing

Once you have your Use and Occupancy letter, you will move forward into the final steps of receiving licensure for your center.

Choose Safe Places

The Tennessee Department of Health wants to ensure children are kept safe and healthy while they are in child care. The Tennessee Choose Safe Places for Early Care and Education (TNCSP) program works to reach this goal through promoting safe siting and safe operation of early care and education centers across the state.

The TDHS Program Specialist will gather information from you and submit a request to Tennessee Choose Safe Places (TNCSP).
