Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Staicy Perry conducted a case management \342\200\223 deficiency visit at the above facility. During the visit, LPA Perry conducted a walk through of the facility with Director Pam Ramussen and observed a summer camp program being operated on-site. LPA Perry observed 74 children in care, with six staff members and one volunteer supervising. According to the facility director, the summer camp operates Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM, serving children between the ages of 6 to 12 years old (first through eighth grade). The summer camp program reportedly runs from June 3, 2025, through August 8, 2025. It was also disclosed that the camp takes regular field trips and uses one of the facility\342\200\231s outdoor yard for play. Meals are provided by an outside vendor, Dave\342\200\231s Deli, with parents responsible for placing daily orders for their child\342\200\231s meals. The children in the summer camp program participate in indoor and outdoor activities. When asked for documentation regarding the summer camp, Director Pam was only able to provide LPA Perry with a summer camp enrollment form, field trip permission form, Identification and Emergency Information and Emergency Contacts form. Director Pam was unable to provide a parent handbook, a detailed program description, daily schedules, or operational policies and procedures for the summer camp. She stated that she believed the program was exempt from licensure requirements. LPA Perry confirmed with Guardian that Staff#1, Staff#2 and Staff#3 are not fingerprint cleared, which poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to the children in care. Also noted was that 3 staff (Staff #4, Staff#5 and Staff#6) from the summer camp were not fingerprint cleared. Based on observations, interviews, and a review of the program, it was determined that the facility was operating a childcare center beyond the limitations on capacity specified on the license, which poses an immediate health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care. In addition it was observed that 3 staff members (S#1,S#2 and S#3) were not fingerprint cleared.
