Inspector Notes

An investigation was initiated on July 24, 2024 and completed on August 2, 2024 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on July 11, 2024 relating to allegations of care and protection and supervision of children. The inspector reviewed 4 children?s records, one caregiver record, and 3 household member records. This inspection included document review and interviews.

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 background checks and recordkeeping and are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
