"Doing Business As" Child Care Policy

The "Doing Business As" (DBA) child care policy is a regulatory framework that allows child care providers to operate under a different name than their legal business name. This policy aims to provide flexibility and convenience to child care providers, allowing them to create a brand identity that suits their target audience. However, providers must comply with certain guidelines and regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in their care. This resource, developed by #MSDE, is a document #providers, #directors, and #providers can use when navigating a DBA policy with their #child-care programs.
