Comments:

An unannounced complaint inspection was initiated on 08/21/2023 from 12:45pm to 1:45pm as a result of a complaint received in our office regarding supervision during nap time. There were 6 children present ages 8 months to age 3 years with the Provider and an assistant. All of the children were laying down for nap time at the time of inspection. The program area, attendance, 3 child records, 3 staff records, and documentation were reviewed. The complaint was determined to be invalid, however there were 7 violations cited unrelated to the complaint. The Areas of non-compliance are identified in the Violation Notice. Please complete the columns for "Plan of Correction" and "Date to be Corrected" for each violation cited on the Violation Notice, and then return a signed and dated copy to the licensing office by 5pm on 9/11/23.
