Child care

Child care is a section within the Division of Licensing and Background Checks (DLBC) Office of Licensing (OL) under the authority of the Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

Our vision is that there is access to safe, healthy child care for Utah families. Our mission is to support the child care community by protecting the health and safety of children in child care programs we oversee. We accomplish our mission by establishing, monitoring, and assessing health and safety standards; training, guiding, and supporting providers in meeting the established standards; and providing the public with accurate information about child care standards, processes, and provider compliance history.
