Inspector Notes
An unannounced inspection was initiated on May 16, 2025 and completed on July 18, 2025 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on April 2, 2025, relating to allegations of supervision and forbidden actions. The inspector reviewed 13 children?s records and 10 staff records on site. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews and observations. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegations; 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. 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 7/28/2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
