The short answer

Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.

What these words mean5
Not read
The file this site reads doesn’t carry what inspectors found, so nothing is counted here. It doesn’t mean the place has a clean record: the state’s own site may have its reports. Source: How this site reads each source.
Inspection (survey)
A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
Deficiency, citation, violation
What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
Licence status
Whether the state’s licence lets the place operate now, in the state’s own words: licensed, on probation (allowed to keep operating on conditions, after problems), provisional, pending or expired. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.
Capacity
The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

What did inspectors find?

DC’s open data carries no licensing inspections, so none are listed here.

OSSE publishes each facility’s inspection reports, the deficiencies they cite and its complaints on My Child Care DC, which this page links; none of it is shown or counted here.

What the record doesn’t say

  • OSSE publishes each facility’s inspection reports, the deficiencies cited and its substantiated complaints on My Child Care DC, which this page links; none of it is shown or counted here.
  • DC’s open data lists licensed child development centers and homes with their capacity by age; it carries no inspection results, quality rating, subsidy or hours.
  • DC’s open data names each facility’s contact and the inspector assigned to it; they are people, so they aren’t shown.
