Based on interview, observation, and review of relevant documents, staff and Director had knowledge of the insect infestation since at least 7/18/22 and did not take all measures to rid them inside the facility until 8/9/22. This is a potential risk to the health and safety of children in care.
Since the onset of the investigation, the Director has scheduled and provided proof of pest control services provided on 8/10/22 and 8/27/22 for the playground and inside the facility to remove insects on the premises. Plan of correction has been completed by 8/27/22.
