Child Care Physical Activity Health Code

The Child Care Physical Activity Health Code is an environmental health inspection license renewal standard for Fargo and West Fargo child care centers and group facilities. The Health Code ensures all licensed child care facilities implement and follow Centers for Disease Control (CDC) best practices, for preventing childhood obesity in early care and education programs.
