Inspector Notes

The inspection findings have been updated as a result of an informal conference completed on 9/10/25.
The inspection findings were updated on June 24, 2025.
An unannounced inspection was initiated on May 29, 2025 and completed on June 4, 2025 in response to a self reported incident received by the licensing office on May 29, 2025 relating to allegations of behavioral guidance and forbidden actions. The inspector reviewed one child?s records and two staff records on-site. The inspection included record review, interviews, and observations. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation(s); 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 June 27, 2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
