Comments:

An unannounced inspection was initiated on 9/10/2025 and completed on 9/16/2025 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 9/10/2025 and 9/12/2025 relating to allegations of Supervision, Prevention of Disease and Toileting Procedures. The Department requested that the provider complete an IPOC as result of the last inspection related to Building Maintenance. The inspector reviewed zero children?s records and zero staff records on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews and observations. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation(s); therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and the violations are documented on the violation notice issued to the program. Though not a part of the original complaint, violations that were not reported were found related to Hand washing 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 9/30/2025. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
