Inspector Notes
An unannounced inspection was initiated with a local agency on 9/16/2024 and completed on 10/30/2024 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 9/10/2024 relating to an allegation of a forbidden action. The inspector reviewed 1 child record and 1 staff record on site on 9/16/2024. This inspection included document review, interviews, observations and a tour of the facility.
The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and the violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
