Some say that the fact that Byrd's daycare is unaccredited means it does not qualify for federal funding. According to the Maryland state government, accreditation is optional and merely a sign that a daycare has demonstrated "high quality," but it is not a requirement for federal funding.

This writer checked the Maryland state website and, according to the Department of Education Office of Child Care (OCC), the daycare has an open license and only minor inspection violations related to paperwork that have all been corrected. The aforementioned website only shows if the status of a business or LLC. This just means the business name lapsed. It is not the same as an active childcare license. The Department of Education OCC shows an open and active license for the childcare.
