An unannounced inspection was initiated on 08/22/2024 and completed on 08/28/2024 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 08/16/2024 relating to allegations of Staffing and Supervision, Programs, and Special Care Provisions and Emergencies. The inspector reviewed 2 children?s records and 4 staff records onsite. This inspection included document review, observations, and interviews.
The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation(s); therefore, the complaint is determined to be not valid. Though not a part of the original complaint, violations that were not reported were found related to Physical Plant and are documented on the violation notice issued to the program.
