Inspection history
DOHMH inspection records, newest first, with each violation's official severity and current OPEN/CORRECTED status. We show the government record verbatim and don't grade it.
How to read this record
- Critical — DOHMH's classification for violations that pose a risk to children's health or safety. The center must correct these, and DOHMH follows up.
- General — lower-risk Health Code violations. They still must be corrected.
- OPEN — not yet recorded as corrected in the latest data. CORRECTED — fixed, and the correction is on the record.
- DOHMH inspects licensed centers routinely, after complaints, and to verify corrections — so a violation on record is normal; what matters is severity, whether it is still open, and whether it repeats. Details in our methodology.
Appropriate child activity Not provided by child care service; unacceptable forms of discipline utilized by staff of child care service.
What this means
Practice Either appropriate activities were not provided for the children, or staff used forms of discipline the rules do not allow. The city's wording covers both, and the public record does not say which one was found.
Worth asking: What is your discipline policy, and how are staff trained in it?
Written behavior management policy Not provided at time of inspection, distributed to staff or made available to parents.
What this means
Records A written behavior management policy was not provided at the time of the inspection, was not distributed to staff, or was not made available to parents.
Worth asking: Can I have a copy of the behavior management policy?
DOHMH inspection summary: Reinspection Not Required
