Child Care Facilities

Cass County Social Services requires any child care facility that cares for six or more children to be licensed and inspected by Fargo Cass Public Health. Some items that the environmental health department looks for during its yearly inspections are:

• Proper food preparation and handling
• Toys and playground equipment are safe and in good repair
• Water temperature at sinks is less than or equal to 120° F
• Diaper changing areas are cleaned and sanitized after each use
• Overall facilities are in good repair
