Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated on 04/08/2025 and completed on 4/08/2025 with a local agency, in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 04/07/2025 relating to allegations of Supervision. The inspector reviewed 1 children?s records and 2 staff records on-site This inspection included :document review , tour of the facility and routes, and interviews

The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation(s); therefore, the complaint is determined to be not valid. Though not a part of the original complaint, violations that were not reported were found related to Administration and Staff Qualifications and Trainings, and are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
