Parents should still thoroughly research a daycare place and not just trust licensing status. Many states licensing basically is a fee, a visit from the fire marshall and minimal visits (sometimes just once a year) from the licensing agency. You cant just assume that licensed is always the best. I am legally unlicensed and the few licensed places that i know of and have actually been inside are scary, scary places. Plus I know two licensed places that are regularly over the allowed ratios and ages.
