Jackson County Environmental Public Health provides sanitation inspections for daycares (Certified Home day cares and Child Care Centers) licensed through the Oregon Department of Education Early Learning Division and for Child Caring Agencies licensed through the Oregon Department of Human Services Office of Child Welfare.

To Request an Inspection for a day care or child caring agency. 

When you receive a licensing packet, from the Office of Child Care, fill out the top portion of the Sanitation Inspection Form (sample)  and send in the entire form, along with the appropriate fee payment to our office. An inspector will then come out and conduct the inspection.

 For child caring agencies, DHS will provide a Sanitation Inspection form that you need to send to us, along with appropriate fee payment. Once these are received, the inspector will schedule the inspection.
