The purpose of this inspection was to conduct a Complaint Investigation of the facility. On 9/16/19 a complaint was filed with the Licensing office. Census was taken in individual classrooms. The overall census observed was 13 preschool staff and 42 preschool children. A review of staff criminal clearance records on this date indicates that all facility staff or other individuals who require caregiver background checks have received criminal record and child abuse index clearances or exemptions.

During an initial investigation inspection on 9/18/19 LPA was informed there are 18 staff members employed at the school. LPA Taylor reviewed all 18 staff transcripts. Staff transcripts reviewed verify 10 of the 18 staff have the ECE units required for a qualified teacher.
