Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated on 08/04/2025 and completed on 08/15/2025 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 08/04/2025 regarding allegations related to the Code of Virginia. The inspector reviewed 1 child?s record and 5 staff records on-site and electronically. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews and observations.

The preponderance of evidence gathered during the inspection supports the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid.
