State licensing requires regular safety inspections and trainings, but a 6abc data analysis found many day cares are noncompliant.

Earlier this year, a Northeast Philadelphia woman was charged after allegedly leaving children in car seats without food or water.Action News Investigative Reporter Chad Pradelli has found potentially hundreds of unlicensed daycares in the Philadelphia area.

Reporters then spot-checked this list with online searches, phone calls and site visits, finding that about a quarter of sampled daycares were licensed under different names and addresses, recently closed or not required to be licensed. These results suggest there could be hundreds of illegally unlicensed daycares across Philadelphia and its collar counties.

The state reported one fatality and two serious injuries at illegal daycares during this period, but the lack of active oversight could mean more have gone undetected. About three-quarters of the unlicensed providers identified by Action News appear to be home-based daycares like Gorman's.
