“Child Care Center Licensing Act,” P.L.1983, c. 492 ( C.30:5B-1 et seq. ). b. A person operating as a registered family day care provider who violates the provisions

of this act by failing to adhere to the standards established by the department pursuant to this act shall be notified in writing of the violation of the provisions

of this act and provided with an opportunity to comply with those provisions. For a subsequent violation, the person's certificate of registration may be revoked,

or the person may be fined in an amount determined by the Commissioner of Human Services,

authorities concerning neglect of children, excessive noise, or property damage resulting

from the operation of a family day care home may be considered by the department when renewing, suspending or revoking a certificate of registration. c. The department , before denying, suspending, revoking or refusing to renew a certificate of registration,

shall give notice thereof to the provider personally, or by certified or registered

mail to the last known address of the family day care home with return receipt requested. The notice shall afford the provider the opportunity to be heard. The hearing shall take place within 60 days from the receipt of the notice and shall

be conducted in accordance with the “Administrative Procedure Act,” P.L.1968, c. 410

( C.52:14B-1 et seq. ). d. If the certificate of registration is suspended or revoked or not renewed, the

provider shall so notify the parent of each child attending the family day care home
