Inspector Notes

An unannounced self-report monitoring inspection was initiated on November 6, 2024 and completed on January 10, 2025 with a local agency in response to a self-report received by the licensing office on November 1, 2024 relating to staff and supervision. The inspector reviewed 1 child record and 2 staff records electronically on date. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews, and observations.

Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law, and violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program. Though not a part of the original self-report, violations that were not reported were found related to programs and physical plant 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 February 6, 2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.

The inspection was amended on March 3, 2025 to add additional information and clarify a violation.
