Unlicensed Child Care
Hiding in plain sight: Pennsylvania turns a blind eye to unlicensed child care.
(Harrisburg, PA) – Federal data suggests there are thousands of unlicensed home child care centers operating in Pennsylvania, putting children’s lives at risk and hurting the economy and government efforts to improve child care quality. But state regulators don’t know if these child cares are meeting minimum health and safety standards because no one is checking on them until someone complains.
