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 mission is to support the child care community by protecting the health and safety of children in child care programs we oversee. This is accomplished by:

• Establishing, monitoring, and assessing health and safety standards
• Training, guiding, and supporting providers in meeting the established standards
• Providing the public with accurate information about child care standards, processes, and provider compliance history
