Comments:

An unannounced monitoring inspection was initiated on 5/8/25 and completed on 5/12/25 in response to a self-report received by the licensing office on 5/2/25 relating to Forbidden Actions. The Department issued a Notice of Intent to place the licensee on probation for a period of six months; and require the licensee to contact parents, guardians, or other responsible persons regarding health and safety violations on 3/12/25 as a result of high-risk violations. The inspector reviewed 3 children?s records and 1 staff records on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews, and observations. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law, and violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program. Though not a part of the original self- report, violations that were not reported were found related to Administration, Staff Qualifications and Training, and Central Registry checks and are documented on the violation notice issued to the program. Please complete the plan of correction (POC) and date to be corrected sections for each violation cited on the violation notice. Specify how the violation will be or has been corrected. Submit your POC within five (5) business days from today, which will be the close of business on 5/19/25. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
