On 07/30/2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jabari Wilson conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint investigation at the facility. LPA met with Director Gauri Mahajan and explained the purpose of today’s inspection. The finding for the above allegation was delivered during the visit.

During the investigation the department completed a physical plant inspection, reviewed facility records, and conducted interviews. LPA interviews with staff and children determined there was not enough evidence to support that staff mishandles daycare children while in care. Prior to visiting the facility, LPA contacted RP who indicated that she works for Child Protective Services and received a call from an anonymous caller. She relayed the message along with the allegations to licensing. Based on the interviews and information obtained throughout the investigation, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred, therefore the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.

The director was provided a copy of this report and appeal rights, and the signature on this form acknowledges receipts of these rights. An exit interview was conducted with Director Gauri Mahajan and Notice of Site visit was provided and posted on the wall.

Unsubstantiated
