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 Incidents that are still under investigation will not be published until the investigation is concluded.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.

Incident Category
Child Abuse and Neglect, Health and Safety, Serious Injury, Supervision Concern
Child was seriously injured by biting. Parents were not notified.
A staff member left the building, leaving children unattended. While the staff member was outside, one child bit another numerous times causing a serious injury.
Staff did not call either child's parents, as is their policy. Staff did not notify Health and Welfare, as is ICCP rules. Staff did not obtain medical help for the serious injury.
When the infant's parents picked the child up from the facility, they immediately brought the child to Urgent Care.
Resolution
On 09/12/2018, a Health Inspector went to the facility to follow-up on the incident. The Owner and Manager were not present.
While in the facility, the Health Inspector witnessed:
-An infant crawling through the lunch room alone with no staff present.
-A child crawling into the bathrooms with no staff members watching.
-Children wearing only a diaper and nothing else.
The Health Inspector noted that the room was chaotic and loud, and staff were yelling at the children; crying children were not provided comfort from staff. While the Health Inspector had a conversation with the Owner, the Health Inspector heard yelling, and looked up to see a staff member forcefully put a child on the child's sleeping mat and throw a blanket over them.
Findings of the inspection include issues with inattentive personnel, inappropriate use of shouting to control children, rough handling of children, inability or willingness of staff to engage children, and unsanitary conditions at the facility.
The owner of the facility plans to implement training for staff members, and follow the facility's policy of calling parents when a child is injured. The owner plans to complete a corrective action plan.
