New documents show A Child's Heart Daycare had someone working there who wasn't qualified.

A records request to the Department of Social Services revealed there were issues with one of the caregiver's background checks, and officials issued the day care a citation in July.

Channel 9 first reported on A Child's Heart Daycare this summer, when staff said they forgot a 3-year-old boy at a local park after a field trip.
