Child Care Centers

The Jefferson County Department of Health regulates childcare centers to ensure all daycares, regardless of their DHR licensing, meet standards that safeguard children’s health and well-being. These rules apply to centers serving more than 12 children and operating more than 4 hours per day or 20 hours per week.
