How to Read Arizona Preschool Inspection Reports

Families can use an inspection report to understand what an agency reviewed, when it reviewed the location, and what follow-up may have been recorded. A missing record in Pick My Preschool is unknown, not evidence that a program had no incident or deficiency.

Questions to ask when reading a report

  • What location and license number does the report identify?
  • What was the inspection date and inspection type?
  • Which findings are described, and does the record show a correction or follow-up date?
  • Is the record current enough for the decision you are making?
  • Can the provider explain any open or historical item in context?

How Pick My Preschool handles missing evidence

Pick My Preschool does not convert a missing report into a zero-violation or clean-history claim. Check the evidence date on a profile and consult the official agency record before making a decision.
