DSHS - DEL - Hiding Child Day Care Information - This from the Tacoma Office

I got this information through a public disclosure request. I post this information for parents to get an idea of what was going on in some licensed child day child facilities from 1979 to 2011 in this case out of the Tacoma, Washington office in the Department of Early Learning (DEL).

Since DEL refuses to comply with the law (RCW 43.215.370) to post revocation, denial and suspension information on my blog when I get such information I post it to help parents, grandparents and public citizens who care about the health, safety and well-being of our children in licensed day care. 

I attached the names of the managers at the times these licenses were suspended, revoked and/or denied.

The column "What was the tipping point?' I tried to distill at least some of the major issues. Most of the time the record didn't get me the information as to how long the licensed provider had a license before the license was revoked.

There appears to be a BIG gap from 1988 to 1996 in terms of taking any enforcement actions at all.

I copied from an Excel spreadsheet and hope it copies over well enough to read.

If not, I'll work on it in the future to make it more readable.
