Liar, Liar Pants on Fire, The Department of Early Learning's Refusal to Comply with RCW 43.215.370

 The Department of Early Learning (DEL) since 2007 has said they don't have the computer capability to post revocation, suspension and denial history.

Yet with with the newest law to post "Unlicensed" child day care providers they came up with that link real fast since the 2011 session ended in April as DEL just described in their August 2011 newsletter:

"Unlicensed care information added to Child Care Check

DEL’s online tool for finding information on licensed child care providers has new information. When you visit Child Care Check at www.del.wa.gov/check you will now find:


 Information about unlicensed child care providers. Senate Bill 5504, passed during the 2011 legislative session, requires DEL to post online information about anyone cited for unlicensed care who does not move to become licensed. A provider will have a red statement about unlicensed care next to his or her name if they are considered unlicensed by the state."


DEL creating this link so easily what now will Deputy Director, Bob Hamilton and Communications Manager, Amy Blondin...what will the say is the reason DEL breaks the law on posting the names of daycare providers who licenses were revoked, suspended and denied?

Some of those folks continued to provide daycare even after a child death in the daycare. It is vital information that a parent would need to protect their children.
