Coverage

Record windowSeptember 1, 2011 – 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.

Data architecture: Cierto supplies the source-backed machine-readable bundle. Life by Vardell independently creates the narrative, design, and consumer report.
