State regulators in Arlington an illegal day care center on Tuesday. Julie Swayne is part of a new, seven-person unit looking for day care businesses operating without permits. News 8 was there when she went to check out All My Youngunz in Arlington. The investigation team arrived because they had received a complaint about child care center which is located in that location.
The women operating All My Youngunz was taking care of seven children, including babies. She was charging $75 a week, but she is not licensed. Regulators have shut down the facility and also they called the parents to come and get their children. The regulators are in the opinion that unlicensed day care centers are potentially dangerous.
A lot of them are in homes; sometimes they are in other locations; but what these regulators are looking for, specifically, for people who have not been permitted, or don't have any kind of training or any kind of background check; and still advertising to take care of kids.

Child care different from baby sitting. If the person or child care center are doing it in your home on a regular basis for compensation, then yes, it's considered child care, They've shut down 700 illegal day care facilities in the North Texas area alone, and they expect to shut down hundreds more by end of the year.
