Inspector Notes

***The inspection findings have been updated***

A complaint inspection was conducted on June 18, 2024 from 3:00 P.M.-3:30 P.M. A complaint was received in the Office of Child Care Health & Safety (Valley), on June 13, 2024 regarding the special care provisions and emergencies regarding diaper changing and soiled diapers. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of special care provisions and emergencies.

The information gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation, therefore the complaint is determined to be "not valid". There was information gathered during the inspection, not complaint related, that determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Please complete the plan of correction and date to be corrected for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from today. You will need to specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Just writing the word corrected is not acceptable. Your plan of correction must contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s), 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again; and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measures. Please do not use staff names; list staff by positions only.
