Childcare facilities are regulated by states and, in certain circumstances, by counties. They are regularly inspected for violations, and official reports are posted online.
The problem is that not many parents know those reports exist. Even when they do, the reports are not always easy to find, read, understand, or use when making daycare decisions.
DaycareFacts.com tackles this problem by regularly examining government websites for new reports, grouping violations by severity, and synthesizing information so parents can more easily understand a facility's compliance inspection history.
More inspections mean more chances for recorded violations to appear. Instead of looking for a perfect record, compare what the reports show, how recent the violations are, and what changed afterward.
Available reports do not show recorded violations for this facility. This reflects the reports DaycareFacts could review, not current conditions or a safety certification. Check how recent the reports are and ask about current licensing status.
The records include recorded violations parents may want to understand before enrolling. These are conversation starters, not a pass-or-fail judgment.
A recent report includes a higher-concern violation. Read the source report, look at the broader history, and ask what changed afterward.
