Assignment of the Application – If MDCPS determines that the applicant may proceed in the Licensure process, the application will be assigned for scheduling a date for the walk-through of the applicant’s home. MDCPS will send the applicant a Welcome Packet, through DocuSign, prior to the walk-through so the applicant can begin gathering information for the licensure process. During the walk-through of the home, the following will be done: 1. Complete the Initial Home Environment Checklist to address any safety or non-safety issues; and 2. If safety or non-safety issues are revealed, clear instructions and deadlines will be given for correcting the issue. If a child is already in the home, MDCPS will determine and document a resolution. 3. Schedule the family for Orientation or complete Orientation while in the home. 4. Schedule the family for fingerprints. 5. Explain all documentation required and gather signatures on any forms needed for licensure.
