Check out your child care provider

Inspections of licensed child-care facilities in Maryland are now online, we report today. Now how come they had to wait until my kids were in actual school to start this? I used to angst mightily over these decisions.

Now the question is: If your child is already in a day-care situation you're happy with, are you going to check this site and risk upsetting the apple cart? Or do you want to know everything you can know about the place where your child spends her days?
