The Utah Office of Child Care continues to manage resources designed to promote the safety and healthy development of children while supporting working parents across the state.
Through the Department of Workforce Services, Utah offers child care assistance programs to help families access necessary care. The state provides a system for parents to find child care programs and learn about educational and child development guides.
The Division of Licensing and Background Checks oversees the regulatory side of childcare in Utah. This division manages child care licensing, inspections, and background checks to ensure facility compliance with state rules.
In addition to family support, the Office of Child Care provides professional development opportunities for providers. These resources include training registration, scholarship applications, and tracking for professional development.
