Shortlist replaces people’s names in the state’s text with initials. This is done by rule, not by hand, so it can miss a name or shorten a word that isn’t one. The state’s report, linked on each row, has the original.
Openings, child care subsidies, hours and late pickup, ratios and staff, a typical day, and sick and biting policies aren’t on this page.
