When you drop off your children, you hope they'll be in a safe environment.
Most centers are safe, and offer activities that stimulate learning.
But a 13NEWS investigation discovered some centers repeatedly violate state standards, and one center's license is being revoked. Through the Freedom of Information Act, 13NEWS obtained inspection records for 50 randomly chosen daycare centers throughout Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore. Investigative Reporter Dale Gauding examined a year's worth of reports, then built a database of inspectors' comments, provided by the Virginia Department of Social Services. To see the inspectors' reports, select a page from the links below. Daycare centers are listed alphabetically by name.
