An unannounced, on-site renewal inspection was completed on 03/24/2026. The on-site inspection began at 9:03 a.m. and ended at 2:00 p.m. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas listed above. There were 46 children present and 9 staff. The inspector reviewed 5 children?s records, 1 child medication, 7 staff records, and 3 officers of the corporation on-site.

A subsidy health and safety inspection (SHSI) was conducted in conjunction with the licensing inspection. Subsidy standards that are not covered in licensing standards were reviewed during this SHSI, and this single inspection report reflects findings related to licensing standards and subsidy standards.

Information gathered during the inspection determined noncompliance with applicable standards or law, and violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
