It happens more often than you think. I’ll paraphrase a quote told to me by a woman that works in the state office. she basically said “we know there’s people out there running illegal daycares, some great programs and some not so great. We don’t have the time, staffing or resources to investigate everything”. Basically they’ll only investigate if there is a complaint but they can only do so much as they can’t do anything if the provider doesn’t answer the door or claims all the children are related. It is up to the parents in this case to be proactive and know who is watching their children and how they spend their days.
