An unannounced complaint inspection was conducted on 11/21/2022. There were 24 children, ages 9 months-4 years, and 5 staff present during the inspection. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of staffing and supervision, physical plant, and programs. The children were observed during rest time and having an afternoon snack. The inspector and an outside partner agency interviewed 3 staff members and 1 child. The inspector arrived for the inspection at 9:00 am and departed at 12:30 pm.
The information gather during the inspection did not support the complaint and therefore the complaint was determined to be not valid. Information gathered during the course of the investigation determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and violations, unrelated to the complaint, were documented on the violation notice issued to the provider.
