Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated and completed on October 29, 2024, in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on October 16, 2024 relating to allegations of behavior guidance and forbidden actions. The inspector reviewed 1 children?s record and 1 staff record on-site. This inspection included interviews and document review.

The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation(s); 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 (area or part of standard) 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 November 29, 2024. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
