Here are some considerations you should take before your health inspection: The facility must have at least two exits. You cannot provide care in a basement or second story without an approved fire exit. Water hazards like pools, hot tubs, ponds, canals, and other bodies of water on the premises must be inaccessible to children. A fence, minimum of four feet high with a self-locking gate, is required to prevent unsupervised child access. Your health department may require other fences.

Training For state licensing, each owner or operator of a facility licensed by the department must receive and ensure that each staff member receives and completes four hours of ongoing training every 12 months after the staff member’s date of hire. “Training” means continuing education in child development areas relating to child care. Child care providers participating in the Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP) are required to complete a series of free online courses designed to cover a variety of health and safety topics for providers in Idaho. For state licensing, the training will count if the staff member takes the training after their hire date. It will be credited for the licensing period in which the training was taken and will only count one time. Criminal history compliance Licensing standards require each owner, operator, and applicant seeking licensure for a daycare center, group daycare facility, or a family daycare home must submit evidence that is satisfactory to the department that owners, operators, staff, and all other individuals 13 years of age or older who have unsupervised direct contact with children or are regularly on the premises have successfully completed and received a clearance for a department criminal history and background check under the provisions of sections 39-1105 and 39-1113, Idaho Code. A background check clearance completed within the last three years can be transferred to a new employer. When using a transferred department criminal history check clearance for licensing, the transferred clearance must be an enhanced clearance and the new employer must also ensure that a new Idaho State Police name-based record check is completed with no disqualifying crimes found. For more information, read our Criminal History Compliance Facts and Guidelines document.
