The CII supports the consistent monitoring of certification regulations. Providers should use the CII to support their own review of requirements related to: posted notices, required paperwork, transportation, ratio and supervision, and physical site.

The worksheets also help monitor compliance related to staff and child records, as Certification Representatives use these documents during the renewal inspection process.
