Comments:

An unannounced inspection was initiated with a local agency on 9/16/2024 and completed on 10/30/2024 in response to a complaint received by the licensing office on 9/10/2024 relating to an allegation of a forbidden action. The inspector reviewed 1 child record and 1 staff record on site on 9/16/2024. This inspection included document review, interviews, observations and a tour of the facility. The preponderance of evidence gathered during the investigation supports the allegation; therefore, the complaint is determined to be valid. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliance with applicable standards or law and the 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 deficient practice will be or has been corrected.
