Due to conflicting information received during the course of the investigation, the allegation that a lack of supervision resulted in inappropriate interactions between daycare children has been determined to be unsubstantiated.

A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. No deficiencies cited.

A Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) is to be posted for thirty (30) days. LPA provided this document to the Licensee, who stated this document will be publicly posted. An exit interview was conducted with the Licensee. Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9098 01/16) along with a copy of this report was provided to staff and their signature on this form confirms receipt of these rights.
