| Findings: During inspection today, Licensing Specialist observed several areas in the facility which had peeling or chipping paint (Annex - peeling and chipping on wall by cabinets; Infant room - chipping on ceiling; Preschool room - chipping on painted ceiling in reading area). Since the facility was constructed prior to 1978 and has not been certified 'lead-free', a lead dust test must be conducted and results sent to OCC. Center could also have testing completed to determine if the facility can be deemed 'lead free' and submit a 'lead-free' certificate to OCC. | |||

Started out an amazing center. But over time the owners stopped caring and even moved out of state. As a result of piss poor owners the staff had no choice but to close its doors and wish the families on its way. Hopefully it becomes a daycare center again with people who actually care about children and their staff. ????
