Title 47. Welfare, Social Services and Institutions

Chapter 35. Child Care Facilities, Child Placement Agencies, Child Treatment Facilities, Foster Homes, and Maternity Homes

Section 5. Purpose; Applicability.

AS 47.35.005. Purpose; Applicability.

(a) The purpose of this chapter is to establish and maintain standard levels for services offered to children in child care facilities, foster homes, and residential child care facilities; services offered by child placement agencies; and services offered to pregnant individuals in maternity homes. The child care and community care licensing procedures in this chapter are intended to reduce predictable risk of harm to children and to provide support services to those providing child care or services. The legislature recognizes the responsibility of parents to select and monitor caregivers for their children in order to ensure a reasonably safe and developmentally appropriate child care environment.

(b) This chapter and regulations adopted under this chapter apply to facilities and agencies

(1) for which licensure is required by or under AS 47.35.015 ; or

(2) that are exempt under AS 47.35.015 from licensure but for which a license is issued under AS 47.35.015 (g).
