Licensee acknowledges, that for TYPE A DEFICIENCIES ONLY upon receipt, Licensee shall post LIC 809-D with Type A deficiency for 30 days and provide copies of this licensing report to parents/guardians of children in care at the facility and to parents/guardians of children newly enrolled at the facility during the next 12 months. LIC9224 must be signed by parents/guardians and kept with the children's forms as a receipt whenever any Type A documents are provided by the Licensee. LIC9224 and Appeal Rights were provided. An exit interview was conducted. The Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) was posted where the parent/guardian of children enter and exit the facility.
