Inspection/Report History

Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Inspection Date Reason Description Status
2026-05-01 Allocated Unannounced Monitoring Allocated Unannounced Monitoring Compliant - Finalized
2025-12-09 Renewal Renewal Compliant - Finalized
2024-12-13 Renewal Renewal Compliant - Finalized
2023-12-19 Renewal 3270.151(a)/3270.151(c)(2) - 12 months prior to service and every 24 months thereafter/Mantoux TB Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.151(a)/3270.151(c)(2)

Description: 12 months prior to service and every 24 months thereafter/Mantoux TB

Noncompliance Area: During the renewal inspection, the initial TB test for Staff #1, dated 11/7/18, was not conducted within 12 months prior to providing initial service in the childcare setting.

Correction Required: A facility person providing direct care who comes into contact with the children or who works with food preparation shall have a health assessment conducted within 12 months prior to providing initial service in a child care setting and every 24 months thereafter. A health assessment is valid for 24 months following the date of signature, if the person does not contract a communicable disease or develop a medical problem. An adult health assessment must include tuberculosis screening by the Mantoux method at initial employment. Subsequent tuberculosis screening is not required unless directed by a physician, physician's assistant, CRNP, the Department of Health or a local health department.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Staff #1 had a physical prior to employment and Staff #1 physician did not indicate a TB test needed to be done. The regulation regarding staff physicals and TB tests is not clear. In the regulation it states, " subsequent TB screening is not required unless directed by a physician". We feel this statement is an ambiguity. Once this was brought to our attention, we immediately sent Staff #1 to get a second TB test paid by our center. Staff #1 worked in childcare prior and it was unclear about subsequent testing. If the regulation was communicated clearly, all doctor's offices would be aware and require the TB testing.
2022-12-12 Renewal Renewal Compliant - Finalized
2021-12-07 Renewal Renewal Compliant - Finalized
2021-10-21 Complaints- Legal Location 3270.36(b)(5)/3270.192(2)(iii) - HS/GED + 2 yrs/Exp, educ., training at facility Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.36(b)(5)/3270.192(2)(iii)

Description: HS/GED + 2 yrs/Exp, educ., training at facility

Noncompliance Area: During the complaint investigation, the file for Staff #1 and Staff #2, who were functioning as assistant group supervisors, did not contain proof of 2 years of experience to qualify for the position of assistant group supervisor. The file for Staff #3, who was functioning as an assistant group supervisor, did not have proof of education to qualify for the position of assistant group supervisor.

Correction Required: An assistant group supervisor shall have a high school diploma or a general educational development certificate and 2 years experience with children. A facility person's record shall include verification of child care experience, education and training following the outset of service at the facility.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Staff #2 needs a verification form filled out. We did contact the previous employer but did not put a form in the file. Prior to inspection ending Staff #1 and Staff #2 had verification of hours form in each file. Staff #3 has not worked for the center for three plus months.
2021-10-21 Complaints- Legal Location 3270.37(c) - Aides supervised all times Compliant - Finalized

Regulation: 3270.37(c)

Description: Aides supervised all times

Noncompliance Area: During the complaint investigation, Staff #2, qualified as an aide, was working alone with nine preschool children and was not being supervised by a staff person qualified, at minimum, as an assistant group supervisor. It was also verified that Staff #1 and Staff #3, qualified as aides, have worked alone with children without being supervised by a person qualified, at minimum, as an assistant group supervisor.

Correction Required: An aide or a combination of aides shall be supervised at all times by a staff person qualified at minimum as an assistant group supervisor.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
Staff # 3 did not successfully turn in her proof of education. Staff #1 and #2 did have proof of education although we did not have proof of hours working with children (verification form) completed. The verification forms were completed before inspection was over for Staff #1 and #2. Ex-staff # 3's file has been pulled and will never be eligible to work for the center again due to a series of events (not involving children).
