Inspector Notes
An unannounced, on-site monitoring inspection was initiated and completed on 2/23/2026. The on-site inspection began at 10:20 a.m. and ended at 1:30 p.m. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas listed above. There were 45 children present and seven staff. The inspector reviewed five children?s records and five staff records on-site. This inspection included document review (i.e. Injury logs, emergency drill logs, annual fire, health and food inspections), tour of the facility, interviews, and observations.
A subsidy health and safety inspection (SHSI) was conducted in conjunction with the licensing inspection. Subsidy standards that are not covered in licensing standards were reviewed during this SHSI, and this single inspection report reflects findings related to licensing standards and subsidy standards.
Information gathered during the inspection determined noncompliance with applicable standards or law, and violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
