Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated and completed on September 24, 2025 with a local agency, in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on September 22, 2025 relating to allegations of supervision and capacity. The inspector reviewed 4 children?s records and 2 caregiver records on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the home, interviews, and observations. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation(s); therefore, the complaint is determined to be not valid. Though not a part of the original complaint, violations that were not reported were found related to administration 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 (5) business days from today, which will be the close of business on October 1, 2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
