Child Care Sanitation Inspections

Clackamas County Public Health strives to improve and protect the public's health through prevention, education, partnerships and healthy environments. Child care facilities play an essential role in providing a safe and healthy environment.

Clackamas County Environmental Health provides Sanitation Inspections for Certified Child Care Centers, Certified Family Child Care, and Certified School-Age Child Care required for annual Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) licensing. We work closely with care facility operators at the time of inspection and are available throughout the year as questions or issues arise.
