Comments:
A complaint investigation was completed with the center on 1/18/2024. The complaint consisted of allegations received by the Northern Licensing Office regarding supervision, inside temperature, and behavioral guidance. Interviews were conducted, documentation was reviewed and observations were made in each classroom. The allegations regarding supervision and inside temperature are determined to be valid. The allegation regarding behavioral guidance was unable to be substantiated due to insufficient corroborating evidence. Areas of non-compliance are identified in the Violation Notice.
