This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, including telephone contacts, documentation review, interviews and a virtual tour of the home. A subsidy health and safety inspection (SHSI) was initiated on August 4, 2021 and concluded on August 4, 2021. There were three children present with one provider supervising. A monitoring inspection was also conducted on this date.
