In its statutory role as advocate for services to children in Massachusetts, the Office for Children regulates provision of day care and substitute care (MGLA c 28A, ss 4(c), 10-13). The office has authority to issue and renew licenses, to investigate complaints filed against providers, and to furnish consultation to assist applicants in meeting its requirements for licensure.
