Inspector Notes

An unannounced complaint investigation was initiated along with Licensing Inspector Cathy Aylor on 11/13/23 in response to a complaint received in the licensing office regarding allegations of inadequate care and protection of children. Based on a review of available documentation and interviews, the Licensing Inspector was unable to substantiate the allegation due to insufficient evidence, therefore the compliant was determined to be invalid. Non-compliant related violations were issued. If you have questions regarding this inspection, please contact the Licensing Inspector, Beth Velke, at beth.velke@doe.virginia.gov or 804-629-8302.
