A parent may use one of three types of providers: licensed, certified or registered. If a parent chooses to use a registered child care provider, the parent will need to provide the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) agent the name, address, telephone number, Social Security number of the provider and where the care will be provided.
A registered child care provider is not subject to licensure or certification by the state or federal government, but must meet all requirements of the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) as outlined in 
922 KAR 2:180. Registered providers must meet the minimum health, safety and training requirements and not live within the same household as the child.
Effective Nov. 1, 2006, providers who register or renew their registration shall:
- Renew their registration once a year;
- Obtain three (3) hours of approved and documented training every year;
- Not be allowed to provide other home-based services such as: family care home, personal care home adult day care or supports for community living;
- Verify that the provider and all adult household members are free of active tuberculosis every year;
- Complete a Child Abuse or Neglect (CA/N) and Criminal Records Check (CRC) for all adult household members every year;
- Provide a statement from a medical professional stating the applicant’s general health and medical ability are good enough to care for a child;
- Report changes within 10 days. The provider will be ineligible to receive child care assistance payments for one year if he/she fails to report changes in his/her situation.
- No payments will be processed until the provider is provisionally approved.
For SFY 2006, there were 3,849 registered providers serving children actively enrolled in CCAP.
