Council approves in-home preschool business license for 'Homegrown Farm Preschool'
Summary
The council approved a commercial business license for an in-home childcare program that will operate as a registered in-home care center; the operator provided state registration and said insurance and background checks were in place.
Hooper City Council approved a commercial business license Thursday for a registered in-home child care provider operating as Homegrown Farm Preschool.
Applicant Olivia (Alaina) Winter told the council she had registered with the state as an in-home child care provider and had completed background checks and required paperwork. City staff confirmed the candidate submitted the state-required documentation and that any outstanding items, such as employee background checks, were in progress.
Why it matters: The city has a conditional review process for in-home care and day-care operations to ensure they meet state and local safety standards. Staff told the council the application met requirements for a registered in-home provider, which requires different documentation than a full commercial child-care license.
A council motion to approve the commercial business license was made by council member Flowers and seconded by council member Northrop; the motion carried.
Ending: Staff will continue to verify outstanding documentation and the operator said she would provide insurance documentation and confirmed she had contacted the state child-care bureau and received the appropriate registration. The business may begin operations in accordance with the conditions required for registered in-home care.
