This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, including telephone contacts, documents review, interviews and a virtual tour of the program.

There were seven children present today, ranging in ages from fifteen months to four years, with two staff supervising. The point total was 17 which is within ratio for supervision. The inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administration, physical plant, staffing and supervision, programming, medication, special care and emergencies and nutrition. A total of one child records and staff records were reviewed. Both caregivers exceed the annual training hour requirement with 21 hours, current first aid and CPR certification as well as MAT certification. No medication was reported to be on-site.
