Trust signals · not star ratings

Two signals, neither of them a star rating.

WrenSong isn't a star-rating site and we don't audit day-to-day care; that's the state's job. Every provider starts at the legal floor, shown plainly, before anything else.

Signal 1 · Baseline

State Licensed

Every provider shown on WrenSong holds a current, active childcare license issued by the state. This is the floor, not a distinction, but a fact. We show it because families deserve to know it.

Active state childcare license
License status verified against state records
Provider appears in the current state licensing roster

"This provider is real, licensed, and operating legally."

Signal 2 · Regulatory Standing

WrenSong Trusted for Childcare

This provider meets WrenSong's regulatory standing criteria. All enforcement actions on record have been reviewed, and no disqualifying findings exist. State Licensed is the floor; this is what going further looks like.

All enforcement actions closed, with no corrective actions pending
No civil penalty of $1,500 or more in the preceding 36 months
No repeat deficiency in the same category across consecutive inspections
No substantiated severe incident on record in the preceding 24 months

View full criteria

All enforcement actions fully closed and resolved with no outstanding corrective actions pending.

No civil penalty of $1,500 or more within the preceding 36 months.

No deficiency in the same AAC rule category cited in two or more consecutive inspections within the preceding 36 months.

Two annual compliance inspections are considered consecutive even if another type of inspection occurred between them. Two inspections that immediately follow one another are also considered consecutive when at least one is a complaint inspection.

Initial, monitoring, midyear, and modification inspections do not independently establish a repeat deficiency.

No substantiated finding within the preceding 24 months of: a medication error or failure to give a required medication during a medical emergency, a significant child injury tied to a cited facility failure, physical harm to a child by staff, or a failure to report suspected abuse or notify a parent.

"WrenSong has reviewed this provider's regulatory history and found nothing that concerns us."

We highlight, we don't humiliate. WrenSong validates trust indicators; we don't certify day-to-day quality, and we never publicly shame providers. A provider at the baseline is neutral, not penalized.

Confirmed, not guessed. We label every listed detail, licensed capacity, staff ratios, curriculum type, confirmed or unconfirmed depending on its source. We tell you what's confirmed versus not yet verified, we don't guess.

Neighborhood & commute context

Walk, transit, and drive-time context for every address, so you know what a daily drop-off and pickup will actually look like.
Questions worth asking on your tour

Each report ends with questions drawn from that specific provider's licensing history, so your visit conversation starts informed, not guessing.
