An unannounced inspection was initiated on 04/15/25 and completed on 04/23/25, in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 04/03/25 relating to allegations of supervision. The inspector reviewed two children?s records on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews, and observations. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports part of the allegations; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid.
