Coverage
Record windowOctober 25, 2002 – November 1, 2026
- This record is OEC's list of active child care licenses as of November 2026, with the inspections, follow-up visits and investigations in OEC's files, which run from September 2011.
- OEC's files give no correction date for a violation, so no violation in this record shows one; OEC's resolution of each inspection or investigation (a corrective action plan, a referral to its legal division) is kept with the visit.
- Exempt child care centers (programs OEC records but does not license, such as those a public school runs) and youth camps are not in this record.
- OEC's files give no county and no map point for a program.
What This Report Cannot Tell You
- Correction dates
- OEC's files record the violation cited, not when it was corrected.
- Severity of violations
- OEC's files do not grade violations.
- Complaints not investigated
- Complaints OEC screened out without an investigation are not published.
- Staff qualifications and turnover
- Not part of the published licensing record.
Historical coverage varies by agency and location. Missing records do not mean that no complaint or violation occurred.
