Comments:
A monitoring inspection was initiated on June 2, 2022 and concluded June 6, 2022 when administration emailed additional documents to licensing inspector. On June 2, 2022, the licensing inspector was onsite from approximately 1:45pm until approximately 3:30pm. The director assisted the inspector during the inspection. There were 12 children present ranging in ages from four to five years, with two staff supervising. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. A total of five child records and two staff records were reviewed.

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.
