Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated on 5/23/25 and completed on 5/29/25 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 4/22/2025 relating to allegations of lack of supervision, and a self report of biting incidents. The inspector reviewed 3 children?s records and 3 staff records on-site. This inspection included: document review (i.e. Injury logs, policies and procedures, emergency drill logs, interviews, observations (this would include observations of photos, recordings, etc.), and

The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation of lack of supervision; 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. Though not a part of the original complaint, violations that were reported as a self report (biting) were found related to supervision and are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
