Daycare Safety RecordState inspection files for licensed child care, presented plainly

Every child care inspection record, in plain language

When a parent picks a daycare, the state has usually already been inside it — checking sleeping arrangements, handwashing, supervision, paperwork — and writing down what it found. Those findings are public records, but they sit in a state system built for regulators, not parents. This site republishes them, operation by operation, in the regulator’s own words.

How to use this site

Find the operation you are considering and read its record the way an inspector wrote it: newest first, each visit labeled by what it was — an inspection, a report, or an assessment — and each citation shown with its standard, its risk level, and whether the state later verified a correction. The record also shows its own denominator: how many standards were checked in total, so a handful of citations can be weighed against hundreds of standards evaluated.

These pages describe operations — licensed businesses and programs. They are not reports about people, and they are not a background check. Read what these records are — and are not.
