Childcare Facility Licensing Program

The Marion County Public Health Department (MCPHD) licenses and inspects certain child care facilities in Marion County, including half-day preschools and mothers-day-out programs. Most day care facilities are licensed or registered through the State’s Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA). Programs in which the children are in attendance for four (4) hours or less, and meet the definitions in Chapter 11 are regulated by MCPHD. Inspections are preformed at least once per year to ensure that these facilities operate in a safe and sanitary manner.
