How often does the heath department inspect child care operations?
Inspection frequencies very from one to two times a year. Since disease outbreaks are often associated with diapered children and children who attend child care for a full day, child care operations that care for infants and toddlers or provide care for more than three and a half hours a day are to be inspected two times a year. Preschools, before and after school programs, summer camps, and other similar types of child care operations are to be inspected once a year.
