Follow-up on corrections·March 5, 2026

On March 5, 2026, at 12:45 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jennifer Irving conducted an unannounced inspection at the facility for an unrelated matter. There were 28 children and 7 staff members present during the visit. During the visit, LPA reviewed the children’s schedules and observed that children enrolled in the Toddler Option Program were being commingled with preschool-age children. LPA informed the facility that children enrolled in the Toddler Option Program may not be commingled with older children unless the facility has an approved waiver from the Department. LPA discussed this requirement with Director Janet DeLa Cruz and advised that the facility must submit a waiver request to the Department in order to continue this practice. Director DeLa Cruz stated that the facility will cease commingling children in the Toddler Option Program with preschool-age children immediately and will not resume this practice until a waiver has been submitted and approved by the Department. Additionally, during the inspection it was observed that the facility had not reported an incident involving an injury requiring medical treatment to the Department as required. LPA reviewed the reporting requirements with Director DeLa Cruz. The Director acknowledged understanding of the reporting requirements and stated the facility will ensure compliance moving forward. See LIC 809D for documentation of 2 Type B violations. An exit interview was conducted and the report was reviewed with Director Janet DeLa Cruz. A Notice of Site Visit was issued and must remain posted for 30 days.
