Inspector Notes

This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, including telephone contacts, documents review, and interviews.

An unannounced complaint inspection was initiated on 01/06/2022 and concluded on 1/11/2022 regarding allegations of non-compliance with ratio. The inspector was on site on 01/11/2022 from 9:25 am-9:58 am. There were 73 children present, ranging in ages from 2 months to 5 years, with 10 staff supervising. The inspector conducted observations and interviews on site.

The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. See the violation notice for more details.
