A complaint inspection was initiated on May 11, 2022 and concluded on May 23, 2022. A complaint was received in the Office of Child Care Health and Safety (Valley) on April 13, 2022 in regards to administration, physical plant, programs and nutrition. An on-site inspection was completed on May 19, 2022. There were 20 children present, ranging in ages from two to five years of age, with three staff supervising. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming and nutrition. One child record was reviewed and two staff were interviewed.

There was only preponderance of evidence for part of the complaint, therefore the complaint is considered valid. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
