Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated on July 31, 2025 and completed on August 22, 2025 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on July 29, 2025 relating to allegations of supervision. The inspector reviewed two children?s records and two staff records on-site. This inspection included document review, interviews and observations.

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.
