- Inspector notes
- Complaint alleges that the child C.T. (DOB: 04/06/2023) began attending the provider on Monday 4/20/26 and when she picked him up his pull up was leaking urine because it was never changed. FINDINGS: A complaint inspection was conducted on 4/28/2026 and video footage of the day was reviewed. The child was observed being changed on two different occasions. First, upon arrival at 12:17PM. Second time was prior to snack time at 3:37PM. According to the schedule, routine potty training should have occurred two more times between 4:30PM - 5:00PM and between 5:15PM -5:30PM. This complaint is partly substantiated as the child was not changed/checked after 3:37PM. He was changed twice while in care.
