Inspector Notes

An unannounced inspection was initiated on 7/28/2025 and completed on 8/4/2025 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 7/24/2025 relating to allegations of physical plant, supervision and infant sleeping standards. The inspector reviewed 1 staff records on-site. This inspection included: document review, tour of the facility, interviews and observations.
The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegations; 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 infant feeding and staff records and are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
