The City Public Health Director has the authority to suspend or revoke a daycare provider’s registration if they fail to pass or comply with the following: 

  • Inspections,
  • Certification in CPR and First Aid,
  • Felony background checks,
  • Screenings through the Central Registry of Abuse and Neglect,
  • Sex offender registry screening,
  • Liability insurance coverage,
  • Compliance with the number of children in care,
  • Compliance with the adult-to-child ratio,
  • Making sure hazardous/dangerous items are inaccessible to children. 

Any DSS or Law Enforcement investigation leading to daycare closure can prompt the City of Sioux Falls to revoke a registration. Daycares must report changes or incidents to the Health Department and have a provider/registered helper present. For more on potential violations, click here.
