On August 28, 2023, a complaint was received with allegations stating, Provider not present 80% of the time, Provider does not keep facility free from bugs, and Facility is dirty. Confidential interviews revealed the licensee is present throughout the day during day care hours.

Observation revealed licensee does attempt to maintain a clean environment for children in care with cleaning throughout the day during day care hours.
Based on confidential interviews conducted during the investigation the allegation that Provider not present 80% of the time, Provider does not keep facility free from bugs, and Facility is dirty, is not supported or proven by evidence. Therefore, the above allegations are unsubstantiated. A notice of site visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days.
