Oh my goodness. You are rightfully livid that this occurred. First, are you positive that the owner used his or her name to become the licensed entity? Sometimes people list employees or silent co-owners as the party applying for the license. Double check to be sure. And while I can see that you would want some form of compensation here, unless you have some form of damages you may not have any case whatsoever. The type of damages that one would have in this case is an injury to your child while in the care of the daycare. You should speak with a personal injury attorney in your area for consultation. It should be free. But if there are no damages then I would consider that the best compensation of all. Good luck.
