Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated on 03/27/25 and completed on 05/13/25, in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 03/17/25 relating to allegations of supervision and injury reporting. The inspector reviewed two children?s records on-site. Additional documentation was reviewed electronically on 03/27/25. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews, and observations.

The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports part of the allegations; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law, and the violations 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 05/20/25. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
