Comments:

An unannounced, on-site renewal inspection was initiated on 01/13/2026 and completed on 01/13/2026. The on-site inspection began at 9:14am and ended at 11:50am. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas listed above. There were 19 children present and eight staff. The inspector reviewed five children?s records and five staff records on-site. This inspection included document review, tour of the facility, interviews, and observations. A subsidy health and safety inspection (SHSI) was conducted in conjunction with the licensing inspection. Subsidy standards that are not covered in licensing standards were reviewed during this SHSI, and this single inspection report reflects findings related to licensing standards and subsidy standards. Information gathered during the inspection determined noncompliance with applicable standards or law, and violations 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 business days from today, which will be the close of business on 01/21/2026. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
