State of Hawaii - Child Care Licensing
The goal of the Department of Human Services’ Child Care Licensing Program is to protect the health, safety, and well-being of children enrolled in licensed facilities by developing and enforcing minimum standards for licensed facilities. Licensing staff monitors compliance with the law and the administrative rules and provides consultation and technical assistance to child care providers.

Hawaii Careers with Young Children(HCYC)
The Hawaii Careers with Young Children Registry is a statewide program
that documents the qualifications of practitioners based upon training,
experience and professional achievements in the field of early care and
education.
There are 2 distinct parts to the Registry described below:
Mandatory
Practitioners are required to have their job qualifications evaluated
and recorded by the Registry if they are employed in Department of Human
Services (DHS) licensed preschools, infant/toddler programs and group
child care homes. DHS licensing rules are used to determine positions
for which practitioners are qualified.
Voluntary
Practitioners may voluntarily participate in the career and
professional development component by using the Registry as a tool to
track, document and plan for ongoing professional development.
Professional development include training classes, workshops and college
classes that are focused on early care and education.
Each of our PATCH offices also provide Career Counselors to facilitate
practitioners and other early childhood professionals with their
registry questions and Early Childhood Education Goals. Call an office
near you to make an appointment.
