Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was conducted with the Director on 6/20/24 from 2:15pm to 3:00pm in response to a self-report made by the center relating to a forbidden action- verbal remarks demeaning to a child. Documentation was reviewed and an interview conducted. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards and a violation was documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Please complete the "Plan of Correction" and "Date to be Corrected" areas on the Violation Notice for the violation cited, sign, and return the inspection to me by the close of business on 6/21/24. Plans of correction should include steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard, and measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again.
