Some Florida Childcare Centers Did Not Always Comply With State Health and Safety Licensing Requirements 

Although the Florida Department of Children and Families (State licensing agency) or county conducted the required inspections at the four providers that we reviewed, this onsite monitoring did not ensure that providers that received funds from the Child Care and Development Fund complied with State licensing requirements related to the health and safety of children. Although one provider complied with staff and child record requirements, all four of the providers that we visited did not comply with the physical conditions requirements, two providers did not comply with staff record requirements, and two providers did not comply with child record requirements.
