In Ohio and other States, there are many potential dangers at day care centers. Because children have poor safety awareness, it is important for day care providers to safeguard the day care center to the best of their abilities. Windows are locations at day care centers that may be dangerous. Children, from time to time, will try to crawl in the window area and in some instances out of the window area. In Beaver Township, Ohio, two toddlers at a Mennonite day care center were peering out of the window, pushed out the screen covering, and then fell seven feet to the pavement. It was reported that one of the children may have suffered a concussion.
In Clayton, North Carolina, police have charged a 13 year old child with setting fire to a day care center that was under construction. 
In Michigan and other States, children are enrolled in day care centers. The hope, wish, desire, and expectation of every parent is that the child will be safe during the day and that the Michigan day care center will provide the child with a clean and well staffed play and learning environment. In Wyoming, Michigan, a mother (Patricia Ochoa) believes that her son (18 months old) suffered child personal injuries at his day care center – Little Blossom Day Care. The day care center denies that the boy suffered injuries in the form of bite marks and bruises while attending the day care center. The Michigan Department of Human Services will investigate the incident. See 
In Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, a day care center that part of a national chain of cay care centers (La Petite Academy) has been cited by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) for a lack of supervision of the children. It was reported that a number of children were victims of improper touching and other inappropriate acts with other children. The lack of supervision appears to have played a role in the number of incidents and the fact that children were not better protected from engaging in or being subject to such conduct.
In Trenton, New Jersey, criminal charges were filed against the driver of the transport van employed with Roselle-based On Time Transport Inc. and a day care center worker employed with Pediatric Day Health Center. The incident was very problematic in that the child had serious health conditions that put the child at significant risk for serious personal injuries. The child, Ty’on Moore, was enrolled as a student at the Pediatric Day Health Center. Ty’on was left in a van in front of the day care center for about 5 hours. Ty’on has medical problems including chronic asthma and seizures. The family was very relieved, after Ty’on was evaluated and treated at a local hospital, that more serious complications did not result from such neglect. Police reported that Ty’on was visibly dazed as a result of the incident and possible medical complications from the 5 hour stay in the van.
