Inspector Notes
The Licensing Inspector conducted an unannounced complaint inspection in response to a complaint that was received by the licensing office on 6/30/2023 relating to the provider being over capacity with 11 children in care on 6/29/2023. The provider is licensed to care for 7 children.
An interview was conducted with the caregiver and she admitted she was over capacity on that day. This investigation does support the allegation that the provider was over capacity on June 29, 2023, so the complaint is determined to be valid. See the Violation Notice for findings.
