Inspections

Child Care Centers are required to have pre-licensing inspections before they can begin operation. Nebraska law also requires the Department to make at least one unannounced inspection to all Child Care Centers who have capacities of less than 30 and two unnacounced inspections to programs who are licensed for 30 or more two times each year. Other visits conducted to Child Care Centers include:

Complaint investigations (these are unannounced)
Change of location
Consultation/Technical Assistance (these are scheduled and conducted only at the request of the provider)
