Arizona Revised Statutes §36-672 requires all children attending child care facilities and preschools to have documented proof of age-appropriate immunizations. The child care center must have the immunization record on file before the child's first day of attendance.

Arizona DHS child care licensing rules (A.A.C. R9-5-305) require every licensed child care facility to have a health statement on file for each child. This includes known allergies, chronic conditions, medications, dietary needs, and emergency contacts. The form must be completed and signed by the parent or guardian before enrollment.
Centers typically provide their own health statement form. Ask for it during the enrollment process so you can have your pediatrician help complete the medical portions if needed.

Arizona does not require universal TB testing for child care enrollment. However, licensing rules allow facilities to request a TB risk assessment, and Head Start/Early Head Start programs typically require one. If your provider identifies risk factors, they may recommend a TB skin test or blood test. Your pediatrician handles this during a regular well-child visit.
