The licensing inspectors conducted an unannounced complaint inspection on 02/25/2020 between 8:00 am to 9:32 am in response to a complaint that was received by licensing on 01/30/2020 related to allegations in the area of programs of the standards. During the inspection, the licensing staff conducted interviews with staff, completed observations at the center, reviewed staff and children records, and other pertinent documentation. An additional interview was conducted on 02/27/2020. The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be not valid.Though not a part of the original complaint, there were violations found during the inspection regarding background checks. See the violation notice for more details.If you have any questions about this inspection, please contact the licensing inspector, Tiffany Harris at 757-403-3045.
