child care search

Virginia licensed child care search

here's a good tool to use, that we found after we put Aria in daycare. something that kind of upset Dana yesterday was that it seemed as if there may not have been enough staff watching kids before pre-school (pre-pre-school if you will). and lo and behold, that's exactly what kind of violations Chesterbrook has been cited for, and just last month even!

so we may switch her at some point to the local kindercare, they haven't had any violations in over 6 months. i feel like a bad parent for not doing this search beforehand. it didn't even occur to me!

I didn't even know tools like that existed! That's awesome. We are starting to look into daycars, so I'll have to check and see if Maryland has something similar. Thanks!

Have you or Dana talked with the daycare about this concern? Maybe they are working on addressing it since they were cited a violation?

we havent talked to them, no, but on that site it says that were addressing those violations. it is something that one of us will talk to the head dude about. though

Good to know about the site. When we switch Monkey from in-home to center-based daycare, we'll definitely check it out.

I wouldn't beat yourself up for not knowing about the site. At least, you knew there were some sort of guidelines they should be following and were clearly in violation.
