Health and Safety Inspections
What is a Health and Safety Inspection?
Most child care providers offer safe and healthy environments. Health and safety inspections and investigations are a normal part of child care in Idaho. Inspections are not intended to "catch" anyone doing something wrong. Inspections help ensure the safety of children and staff, support staff in following requirements by finding concerns, and promote continuous improvement.
Idaho will begin publishing the results of health and safety inspections in October 2017. Inspections will be published as they are conducted, and maintained on this site for three years. A provider may or may not have had inspections before this date.
