Comments:

An unannounced, on-site monitoring inspection was initiated and completed on 1/30/2026, as a part of the licensure period. The on-site inspection began at 11:23am and ended at 1:36pm. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas listed above. There were 44 children present and 9 staff. The inspector reviewed 5 children?s records and 4 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 non-compliance 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 2/6/2026. A POC submitted after this date will not appear on the public website.
