For Childcare Centers

Built to pass inspection.

What childcare licensing actually requires.

Licensing rules change, and your state agency has the final say. Everything here reflects current requirements as we understand them and how we build to meet them — always confirm against your state's licensing standards and your assigned inspector before you commit to a design. Where we cite a rule, we link the source.

Start with your state.
