A renewal inspection was conducted from 06/01/2026 through 06/11/2026. During a visit to the facility on 06/11/2026, the certification representative rang the doorbell and knocked on the entrance door several times. The certification representative could hear that the doorbell was functioning properly. A staff person was then heard stating, "I got it," and was observed walking down the hallway toward the entrance door. Upon reaching the end of the hallway and seeing the certification representative at the door, the staff person turned around and walked away without opening the door. The certification representative continued to ring the doorbell and knock on the door but received no response. The certification representative subsequently gained access to the facility through the outdoor play space, where children were present and engaged in outdoor play.
