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 began publishing the results of health and safety inspections October 2017. Inspections are published as they are conducted and maintained on this site for at least three years.

Incident Reports

What is a Substantiated Incident?

Occasionally, families and community members may report that a child care facility is not meeting requirements for safe and healthy child care. All child care incidents reported in Idaho are investigated. After an investigation, if it is determined by the relevant authorities that an incident occurred, it is considered “substantiated.” It is important to know that only substantiated incidents and allegations are published on this website. Incidents that are still under investigation will not be published until the investigation is concluded.

Idaho began publishing substantiated incidents in October 2017. Incidents are published as each investigation is concluded and maintained on this site for at least three years.

Supervision

At time of investigation person in charge confirmed incident in question regarding a child exiting the facility unattended and unsupervised. Per person in charge, the incident occurred around 10 am when the toddlers are transported from upstairs to downstairs. During the transition the toddlers do pass the front door of the facility. Per person in charge, an officer brought the child back about 15 mins later. Person in charge also stated that attendance is not taken until the kids are downstairs.

Resolution

At the time of follow up investigation children were properly supervised and facility was within ratio. Self-closing mechanisms have been added to the front doors and the inside half doors as an additional safety measure. A door bell has been ordered to help alert staff of when the front door is opened and closed. Per person in charge, attendance is now taken upstairs before transport to the classrooms and the children are given badges.
