| 2026-08-25 | Information provided to the Department for a complaint was not current and accurate. On 6/24/26 a child put dried feces in their mouth from the floor and Staff A told the Licensing Specialist that they told the child's parent about the incident the same day. However, the child's parent stated they were not informed of the incident until 7/20/26, and it was Staff B who informed them, not Staff A. On 7/06/26, Staff A told the Licensing Specialist that a ripped Toddler diaper pad was replaced that day. But, on 8/25/26 the same ripped diaper pad was still being used for the Toddler children. | Violation |

This is the same diapering surface that had rips in it during the previous licensing visit on 7/06/26. During the 7/06/26 visit, staff had agreed to immediately replace the diaper pad with a new one, and sent the licensor a photo of a new diaper pad that was reportedly being used from that day on. However, on 8/25/26 the center was still using the same ripped diaper pad observed on 7/06/26. | Violation |
