Raising Riley Providers must be fully licensed by Kansas Department of Health and Environment Child Care Licensing (KDHE CCL)

​

Raising Riley regularly checks the KDHE Child Care Licensing Portal for survey findings, complaints, and notices of non-compliance.  Partners with the Raising Riley program are expected to meet high standards for the health and safety of children in care. These standards may exceed licensing standards. If Raising Riley deems a facility's operations reflect issues regarding health and safety or if there are non-compliance notices on the Child Care Licensing portal, then a suspension from this partnership could result. Raising Riley will suspend the partnership for the length of time that a notice of non-compliance for health and safety issues remains on the KDHE CCL portal.

​

Raising Riley providers must be located in Manhattan/Riley County.

​

A "Welcome to Raising Riley" orientation visit will be made by a Raising Riley representative. All necessary forms and agreements will be reviewed and signed during this meeting. The representative will outline how to submit monthly requests for payment and other responsibilities of the provider. 

 

Payment is made directly to the provider. Direct Deposit option is available when appropriate forms are completed. 

​

Raising Riley providers will allow Raising Riley representatives to visit home/center for an observations a minimum of two times per year.

​

Raising Riley providers are responsible for completing and submitting the Child Care Scholarship Request for Payment Form monthly for payment.

​

Raising Riley providers must notify Raising Riley of any change in scholarship family or employment status, additional tuition assistance, hours child is in care, or intent to exit scholarship children. This can be completed with the Provider Information Update Form. 

 

Raising Riley scholarships will not be used to "hold" spots for children not in care.
