When we enrolled DS in DC this past winter, I checked our DC's violations and it was all paperwork/administrative type stuff that I didn't really care about. Nothing that I batted an eye at basically. Well being "crazy," I decided I should check again since he's been there six months and I like to keep abreast of these things. I discovered two violations I am not pleased about, specifically one having to do with violating a provision regarding, "Children should not be left unattended at any time." In our state, that's the only information you get, is the number of the licensing provision that was violated, and then you look up the provision and you see what it is. There's no further information like what age child was involved, what happened, anything. WWYD with this information, if anything?
We have been really pleased with this center, and DS loves it, and we love both DS's and DD's teachers. I probably shouldn't, but I feel a little weird asking about it, like I was snooping on the DC or something. I know I'm not literally snooping on them, but it feels weird to say, oh I was just monitoring the licensing status and whatnot 6 months after enrollment, and I saw this and I wanted to know what happened. I almost feel like it's not my business or something? Like if it was my child and an incident I reported, then it would be one thing, but I don't know...I'm assuming the parents involved have dealt with it directly already and it's kind of got nothing to do with me. Would you just keep your eye on the licensing/violations reports to ensure it doesn't pop up again and is corrected (right now it's listed as "pending investigation")? Ask a teacher you're comfortable with what happened? Let it go because you're comfortable with the DC and you've never witnessed anything out of the ordinary? I guess it sort of surprised me because the director/owner of the center is super strict and runs a VERY tight ship and the only violations in the past have been very few and strictly administrative. What do you ladies think?

We were at a church daycare where a teacher in the older toddler room hit and bit a child as punishment. It was in the news and there are many versions of the story from people that didn't even go there. We had been there about a month when it all went down but my child was not in that class. The new director gave limited answers (she wasn't there and probably instructed to due to the investigation) but I met one of the board of directors just by chance at an open house the church hosted and he spilled his heart out about what occurred to me and someone else.
