A newspaper study of day care quality in Georgia shows the state's rules are often violated.

MACON, GA. (AP) -- The Macon Telegraph reported on Wednesday that its analysis of about a thousand state records for Bibb and Houston county centers showed multiple violations at almost all of them.

An analysis of state records showed 2,840 cases in which a state day-care standard was not met or was partially met at Bibb County day-care centers, and 758 at Houston County centers, between 2007 and March 2010.

At Early Trails Preschool and Daycare Center in Macon, state consultants documented 150 rule violations between 2007 and the end of 2009. The center has a new name and a new owner, who says she has made thousands of dollars worth of improvements.
