The short answer

Record last released by Tennessee Department of Human Services (TDHS), Child Care Services, for the programs the Tennessee Department of Education approves on Oct 15, 2026. We couldn’t read Tennessee Department of Human Services (TDHS), Child Care Services, for the programs the Tennessee Department of Education approves’ list since Oct 20, 2026: www.tn.gov now refuses our reader. This record is as of then.

What these words mean5
Not read
The file this site reads doesn’t carry what inspectors found, so nothing is counted here. It doesn’t mean the place has a clean record: the state’s own site may have its reports. Source: How this site reads each source.
Inspection (survey)
A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
Deficiency, citation, violation
What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
Licence status
Whether the state’s licence lets the place operate now, in the state’s own words: licensed, on probation (allowed to keep operating on conditions, after problems), provisional, pending or expired. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.
Capacity
The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

What did inspectors find?

Tennessee’s Web Provider List carries no inspection dates, so none are listed here.

Tennessee’s Department of Education says the programs it approves are “certified by the Department of Education and verified through inspection by the Department’s child care program evaluators.” Those inspections aren’t in this list, and they aren’t read here yet, so none of them is shown or counted.

What the record doesn’t say

  • Tennessee’s Department of Education says the programs it approves are “certified by the Department of Education and verified through inspection by the Department’s child care program evaluators.” Those inspections aren’t in this list, and they aren’t read here yet, so none of them is shown or counted.
  • Listed here: the programs Tennessee’s Department of Education approves (school-run infant and toddler, preschool, and before- and after-school programs among them), from the monthly Web Provider List the Department of Human Services posts. The providers the Department of Human Services licenses are listed from its own map layer.
  • The list gives no licence or approval number, so each program is known by its name and address.
