Child Care Safety Portal

Child Care Safety Portal

Child Care Safety Portal

The web portal is a resource for Oregon residents to get information about the safety, health, and quality of licensed child care facilities. Searchable content includes facility status, a summary of the state’s inspections of the facility, complaint information, enforcement activity, and details about injuries and deaths that have occurred at the facility.

Open the Child Care Safety Portal

Every regulated facility receives at least one announced inspection and one unannounced inspection every year. The portal displays inspections completed in the past ten years. Valid complaint allegations and observed non-compliances are displayed for ten years. Complaints findings found unable to substantiate are displayed for two years.

If you would like to receive a full compliance history or have any questions regarding the information displayed, please call the Office of Child Care’s Central Office at the 503-947-1400 or 1-800-556-6616 or use the Child Care Safety Portal Feedback button below.
