What are Provider Information Notice (PINs)?
A Provider Information Notice (PIN) is a message from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS). It is for people who run licensed child care programs. Each PIN tells about new rules or changes that affect child care. This can be about safety, licensing, or what must be shown.
CCLD PINs
Some PINs come from the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD). They watch over many kinds of care programs.
CCP PINs
Other PINs come from the Child Care Licensing Program (CCP), which helps licensed child care providers.
