So, by not being home or available during licensed hours, this is what they will cite us for. I really think they only actually cite you if they suspect there is something shady going on. Hiding children because one has more, billing the state for kids who don't really attend, etc.
Are licensed hours your business hours or when licensing is open and available to inspect?
