Oregon Childcare Licensing
In Oregon, all child care centers serving children outside the family home are required to be licensed by the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC). Licensed centers undergo background checks, capacity inspections, and routine compliance reviews.
Minimum staff-to-child ratios are 1:4 for infants under 12 months, 1:5 for toddlers (12–35 months), and 1:10 for preschool (3–5 years). NAEYC-accredited centers typically operate below the state minimum.
