Comments:
This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, including telephone contacts, documents review, and interviews.

An unannounced complaint inspection was initiated on 12/10/2021 and concluded on 12/13/2021 regarding allegations of non-compliance with ratio. The inspector was on site on 12/10/2021 from 12:00-12:45 pm. There were 38 children present, ranging in ages from 4 months to 9 years, with 5 staff supervising. The inspector conducted observations and interviews on site. Additional documentation was requested and reviewed remotely.

The preponderance of the evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. 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.

Your plan of correction must contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s), 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again; and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventative measures.
