Property History Questions for Child Care Center and Group Child Care Home Applicants

Please complete the form on the next page after reading the instructions on this page. This form collects information about how the property and buildings at your child care center or group child care home were used in the past. Some past uses such as agricultural or manufacturing/industrial could have left chemicals behind on the land or in the buildings. The information you provide will help the Department of Public Health identify whether residual chemicals may be present at your child care property and will help the Department ensure that actions are taken (if needed) to make the property safe. Please note that if you are Family Child Care Home applicant and your program will operate in a private residential structure, you do not need to complete this form. Please answer the questions on the next page to the best of your ability and go back in time as far as readily available information allows.

We strongly recommend that you talk with the following people to help you complete this questionnaire.
