Comments:

An initial inspection for licensure was conducted on 6/13/2022. The provider does not currently have any children in care, but plans to open for care later this summer. The Inspector reviewed compliance in the areas of administrative record keeping, emergency preparedness, background checks, nutrition, and the physical plant. Thank you for meeting with me today.
