Facts you can check, never guesses.
- ✓Every fact has a source. Click through to the regulator’s own record, with the date we retrieved it.
- ✓Missing isn’t “clean”. If a state doesn’t publish inspections, we say so — we never show “no violations” for missing data.
- ✓The building isn’t the operator. Building code violations are shown separately and never pinned on the childcare program.
