A complaint inspection was conducted Thursday, December 7, 2022 in response to a complaint received by the department on October 20, 2022 regarding staff-to-child ratios and handwashing. The licensing inspector was on site from approximately 10:00am until 11:30pm. Interviews with staff were completed, observations were made at the center, and documentation was reviewed. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation does support the complaint; therefore, the complaint was determined to be valid.
Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact the licensing inspector at (804) 840-8260.
