Subject: How do you look up the violations a DC child care center has?
Yikes. I've never had anyone request that, but I'd share with them if they did. It's usually lists of the kids whose parents haven't keep up with immunizations, etc.
I will say you need to ask for 5 parent references. If the director doesn't have them ready right then, she/he can email them in a day or two, sometimes we need to update as kids move to toddler room or graduate from the program, and we must ask parents before sharing their phone numbers and email with strangers. But I never had problems with parents refusing!

This is helpful -- thanks. I have a tour next week. I will ask.

You can't. But beginning in September you'll be able to.

You're joking! That's terrible! I don't think I can take a DC infant spot now. I will always wonder what I don't know, considering the things I have learned from the Virginia inspection reports.

You actually have to make a FOIA request. Welcome to the dark ages.
