Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated on 6/16/25 and completed on 6/23/25 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 6/13/25 relating to allegations of supervision and daily activities for infants. The inspector reviewed 1 child's record and 4 staff records on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews, and observations.
The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports 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 (5) business days from today, which will be the close of business on 6/30/25. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.

5. During this time, Child # 1 did not fall asleep. It also showed that Child # 1 was not checked on during this whole time by any of the staff members present in the room.
Plan of Correction: All staff will be retrained on the policy for checking on resting or sleeping infants every 15-20 minutes. This will be reinforced through direct observation and regular checks by the program administrator. A log/chart has been created and will be implemented to document checks on sleeping infants, which will be reviewed daily. Staff will document charts with the date, time, and their initials when checking on sleeping infants. All staff will also be retrained on the importance of active supervision, including strategic positioning, consistent scanning of play activities, and circulating among children. Regular observations and feedback will be provided by the program administrator to ensure consistent implementation, and documentation of these observations and feedback will be maintained. A sleeping chart has been developed for New Policy Sleep/Resting Chart
