Inspector Notes
An unannounced inspection was initiated on December 12, 2024 and completed on January 13, 2025 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on November 7, 2024 relating to allegations of staff training and background checks. The inspector reviewed 5 children?s records and 7 staff records on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews and observations. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation(s); 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. Please complete the plan of correction (POC) and date to be corrected sections for each violation cited on the violation notice. Specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Submit your POC within five (5) business days from today, which will be the close of business on 1/17/2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
