During the inspection, the inspector reviewed the areas listed above to include standards found out of compliance during the previous inspection. Unless otherwise noted as a violation within this inspection report, the provider was in compliance with the standards reviewed.

Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated and completed on 10/9/2025 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 9/30/2025 relating to allegations of caregiver qualifications. In addition to the complaint investigation, a monitoring inspection was initiated and completed. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas listed above. There were 8 children present and 2 caregivers; the point total was 16. The inspector reviewed 4 children?s records and 3 caregiver/household member records. This inspection included document review, a tour of the family day home, interviews and observations.

The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegations; therefore, the complaint is determined to be not valid. Though not a part of the complaint, violations were found related to the monitoring inspection and 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 business days from today, which will be the close of business on 10/27/2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
