Comments:

The licensing inspector conducted an unannounced monitoring inspection in response to a self-report that was received by the Office of Child Care Health and Safety on March 21, 2023, regarding allegations in the area of supervision. The investigation was initiated on March 28, 2023 and concluded on April 18, 2023. On March 28, 2023, the inspector was on site at the center from approximately 10:15am to 12:25pm. Interviews with the center staff were completed, and documentation was reviewed. On April 6, 2023, the inspector was on site at the center from approximately 4:15pm to 5:15pm. Interviews with the center staff were completed, observations were made at the center and documentation was reviewed. The inspector completed an additional interview on April 18, 2023. The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation; therefore, the self-report is determined to be founded. Though not a part of the original report, there were violations found during the inspection regarding children?s records, staff records and injury reporting. See the violation notice for more details. Please complete the ?plan of correction? and ?date to be corrected? for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to me within 5 business days from today. Please specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Your plan of correction should contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s), 2) measures to prevent noncompliance from occurring again; and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measures. Please do not use staff names, list staff by positions only. If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact the licensing inspector at (804) 929-3771.
