Connect Johnson County
Welcome to Connect Johnson County!
Currently, Connect Johnson County provides registration for Child Care Licensing classes. In the weeks to come, Connect Johnson County will be host to many county related classes for which you can register. In addition to class registration, we'll bring you subscriber access to many county related newsletters, reports, and announcements. The best part about Connect Johnson County is that you'll have access to these features using a single user account.
Online or in the classroom is a great way to connect with Johnson County government, but did you know we also provide a library of informative and helpful videos? Johnson County has a YouTube channel with videos on County Projects, BOCC Board Meetings, Facebook Live, Environmental tips and tricks, Emergency Preparedness, and much more. We've even added a couple of the latest videos to this website for your enjoyment.
Providing you access to these resources takes time and planning, so please 'pardon our dust' as we tweak and massage the website in our attempt to Connect Johnson County. And don't forget to come back often to see what new things we might have added since your last visit.

Licensing ClassesThe first step to starting a child care facility is to attend an orientation meeting. To start a home day care - register for Child Care Classes and sign up for Information Meeting (orientation). To start a child care center - call Eldonna Chesnut at (913) 477-8366 to set up your individual orientation. The Johnson County Department of Health and Environment's Child Care Licensing division works with all child care facilities in Johnson County. According to Kansas Child Care Licensing Law, anyone providing care for children other than those related by blood, marriage, or adoption, must be licensed with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. |
