Inspector Notes

An unannounced monitoring inspection was initiated on August 26, 2025 and completed on September 2, 2025 in response to a self-report received by the licensing office on August 20, 2025 relating to supervision and forbidden actions. The inspector reviewed two children?s records and one staff record on-site. The inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews, and observations.

The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the self report; therefore, the self-report is determined to be not valid. Though not a part of the original self report, violations that were not reported were found related to background checks and are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.

Please complete the plan of correction (POC) and date to be corrected sections for each violation cited on the violation notice. Specify how the violation will be or has been corrected. Submit your POC within five (5) business days from today, which will be the close of business on September 11, 2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
