For parents, few things are more gut-wrenching than seeing a child come home from daycare with unexplained injuries. The fear sets in instantly: bruises, bite marks, or scratches that weren’t there that morning. And with the fear comes the questions—What happened? Was anyone watching? Is my child really safe?
That was the reality for Brian, a father who began noticing a troubling pattern. His child was frequently coming home from daycare with injuries that no one seemed willing to explain.
At first, it was a bruise. Then came a scratch. Later, a bite mark. Each time, Brian did what any parent would—he asked questions. He wanted answers, documentation, and reassurance that his child was being properly cared for. What he got instead was silence—no phone calls, no written incident reports, no accountability.
That lack of transparency was the breaking point. For Brian, it wasn’t just about one bruise or one unexplained injury—it was about the trust that every parent places in a daycare when they drop off their child. When that trust is broken, it changes everything.
Instead of staying silent, Brian decided to act.
From Frustration to Advocacy
Brian began researching the child care industry and digging into public records that most parents never realize they can access. What he discovered was eye-opening: state agencies often collect inspection reports, violation histories, and other safety data on daycare facilities. However, the information can be difficult and time-consuming to navigate.
Brian knew families deserved better. So he built a tool that could turn his personal experience into a resource for others.
The Birth of DaycareAlert.com
The result of Brian’s journey is DaycareAlert.com, a free and easy-to-use website designed to bring transparency and accountability to the daycare selection process.
The mission is simple but powerful: give families the information they need to make safer, more informed choices about child care.
Through the site, parents can search for daycare centers in their area and view:
- Violation histories
- Inspection reports
- Safety records
- Cost estimates
- Real parent reviews
Instead of sifting through confusing state websites, families get a clear, accessible snapshot of how a facility operates. The platform empowers parents to compare options side by side and spot potential red flags before enrolling their children.
Why This Matters
Brian’s work is rooted in empathy. He knows firsthand the helplessness that comes from feeling like no one is telling you the truth about your child’s well-being. That’s why DaycareAlert.com was built, not just as a database, but as an advocacy tool. It shifts power back into the hands of parents, where it belongs.
At The Button Law Firm, we’ve met countless parents with stories that echo Brian’s. Families come to us heartbroken, angry, and desperate for answers after discovering their child was injured or neglected at daycare. Too often, their questions are brushed aside or ignored entirely.
That’s why we’re proud to highlight Brian’s work. DaycareAlert.com has quickly become a lifeline for Texas families navigating a system that can feel stacked against them. Having access to clear, trustworthy information makes all the difference when the safety of a child is on the line.
Turning Pain Into Purpose
Brian’s story is proof that even the most painful experiences can lead to meaningful change. What began as a father’s unanswered questions has now evolved into a platform helping thousands of parents.
His work is about more than just gathering information—it’s about advocacy, accountability, and refusing to let neglect go unchecked. By shining a light on hidden records, Brian is giving families something every parent deserves: the ability to make the best and safest choice for their child’s care.
At the end of the day, parents should never have to wonder if their child is safe at daycare. Thanks to Brian’s determination, more families now have the tools to find peace of mind and protect what matters most.
