“We ran the inspection simulator on a Friday and found three deficiencies. Fixed them over the weekend. The state inspector came Monday and we passed with zero findings.”
Tamika W.
Center Director, Atlanta GA
“The staff record tracker caught that two of my assistants had expired CPR certifications. If the inspector had found that, we would have gotten a citation.”
Laura C.
Home Daycare Owner, Portland OR
