Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated on September 17, 2025, and completed on October 1, 2025, in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on September 15, 2025, relating to allegations of Special Services. The Department issued a Special Order to require the licensee to contact parents, guardians, or other responsible persons regarding health and safety violations on August 26, 2025, as a result of high-risk violations. The inspector reviewed 4 children?s records and 0 staff records on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews and observations.

The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be not valid. Though not a part of the original complaint, violations that were not reported were found related to Special Services and Administration and are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Please complete the plan of correction (POC) and date to be corrected sections for each violation cited on the violation notice. Specify how the violation will be or has been corrected. Submit your POC within five (5) business days from today, which will be the close of business on October 8, 2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
