Official reports exist.DaycareFacts.com makes
them easier to use.
1Find official records
Childcare facilities are regulated by states and, in certain circumstances, by counties. They are regularly inspected for violations, and official reports are posted online.
2Understand the findings
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.
3See the full picture
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.
Look at inspection records as a conversation starter, not a pass-or-fail judgement

The loaded reports do not show inspection concerns for this facility. It is still worth checking how recent the reports are and asking about current licensing status.
The records include findings parents may want to understand before enrolling. These are conversation starters, not a pass-or-fail judgment.
A recent report includes a higher-concern topic. Read the source report, look at the broader history, and ask what changed afterward.
