| Conclusion Summary |

Compliance Inspector (CI) Jessica Graham investigated the allegation that the center has not had hot running water for several months. This allegation is substantiated based on the following rule violations:
5 CSR 25-500.082(4)(D). which states: "Diapering supplies and warm, running water shall be adjacent to the diapering area."
AND
5 CSR 25-500.082(3)(A)3. which states: "Toilet and handwashing facilities shall be in working order and convenient for the children's use."
On March 3, 2026, Katelyn Krauss was conducting a sanitation inspection for the facility regarding hot running water when CI Graham arrived for the investigation. Hot water was not running at the temperatures they should be in some of the classrooms. She would submit her inspection report once completed.
Christina Paisley, director, said that they had been having issues with the hot water lately and were working on getting things fixed.
On March 3, 2026, an emergency sanitation inspection report was received from inspector Katelyn Krauss with the following notes:
Required: Hot water temperature at sinks accessible to children - 100 - 120 F.
Comment: During inspection inspector looked at the new hot water heater. The gauge on the hot water line read 115.0 F. Inspector placed thermometer between the pipe and insulation and got a reading of 114.0 F. Then myself and employee went back to the infant/toddler room let the hot water run for about 3-4 minutes and tested the water. The water temped at 111.0 F for a few seconds then dropped below 100.0 F.
This inspection did not conform with the sanitation requirements and a return inspection would be conducted.
