Releasing a Child From Care Overview

In accordance with licensing rules, no child may be picked up by anyone who is not listed on the child’s authorized pick-up list. It is the parents’ responsibility to keep that list current. Authorized individuals must also bring a proper child safety seat when transporting the child in a car. If someone appears unfit to safely transport a child — such as showing signs of severe illness or suspected substance use — the care provider will discourage the pick-up and may contact the parents and/or the police to ensure the child’s safety.
