Child Care Provider Types
Per Utah Statute, child care means continuous care and supervision of five or more qualifying children that is in lieu of care ordinarily provided by a parent in the parent's home, for less than 24 hours a day, and for direct or indirect compensation.
Unless one of the criteria in the Exemptions Rule are met, providers are required to have a license or certificate from Child Care Licensing if they are or will be providing care or administering a program that meet the definition of child care. A city business license is NOT a Child Care License.
Some individuals provide illegal care. Even if they have a city business license, NO CCL inspections are conducted and NO CCL background checks are done. Please File a Complaint if
you are aware illegal care is being provided or a provider is not in compliance with the applicable rules or requirements.
